This book considers the legal issues surrounding the fictionalization of real events and people. It discusses The Perfect Storm - which spawned lawsuits from the families of the people depicted - as well as 13 courtroom dramas that can be compared to the real trials in the historical record. Also covered are actors so identified with a character that they sought legal acknowledgment of exclusive rights to that fictional persona.

Attorney John T. Aquino specializes in media law. His legal articles have appeared in American Lawyer, Intellectual Property Strategist, IP Law Weekly, Entertainment Law Weekly and the Washington Post. He lives in Silver Spring, Maryland.
