Perry is a playwright. He wrote and produced an off-Broadway play about the life of Colonel Sanders, "Just a Drop in the Bucket," that closed after the third performance. Later that same year, on vacation in Los Angeles, he went to see a new production called "Fry It Anyway." Perry was appalled to discover that the play was substantially similar to his own. "Fry It Anyway" becomes a big hit. What protections are available for Perry? What defenses are available against any claims Perry might make? What additional protections would be available had Perry registered under the federal Copyright Act? Discuss fully.
