Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Woods grants Penguin's motion to dismiss this suit alleging copyright infringement brought by the author of a book meant to promote self-esteem for Black boys. Copyright assures the right to original expression while encouraging others to build freely upon conveyed ideas. The author seeks to monopolize the idea of the subject rather than its expression. The court finds the total look and feel of the author's book with the alleged infringing work are not substantially similar.
