Silly Squad and the Magic of Copyright Infringement (Short Story Version)!


Silly Squad INC. is the #1 entertainment company of its class. They still do entertaining at birthday parties, TV shows, movies, internet clips, merchandising, a theme park, and “The Silly Squad Channel” which is a subscription video on demand television service and it now has over 200,000 subscribers. They own both Shekys INC. and True Funny INC., which at a time were their biggest rivals. They also now own Bros. Ink and Lixey Bros. Studios. Soon Silly Squad INC.’s CEO Flea-Boy the Clown announced that Silly Squad INC. is now a public company and trades on the NYSE. Also Silly Squad INC. just acquired the Japanese animation film studioUncle Akira Productions” which made many successful Japanese cartoons and some of them have never been seen in America. Silly Squad INC. just also recently acquired rival media conglomerate Liarmun Media. Liarmun Media is an owner of 65 daily newspapers, 50 local independent television stations, and 30 local radio stations nationwide. With the acquiring of Liarmun Media, Silly Squad INC. is now one of the most powerful media conglomerates in the world today. Flea-Boy the Clown’s vision of making people laugh is now one of the most successful corporations in the world today. Now we go to a rundown apartment which was rented out by Flea-Boy the Clown’s former friends The Evil Clowns (Evil, Happy, & Sad). The Evil Clowns worked at the same circus Flea-Boy worked. But little did the world know was that actually Evil who was the leader of the Evil Clowns came up with the idea of the Silly Squad and NOT Flea-Boy. 

This means that Flea-Boy the Clown stole the idea of the Silly Squad from the Evil Clowns and now the Evil Clowns wanted revenge. Evil the Clown was watching a documentary on Flea-Boy the Clown and the Silly Squad and he was mad as hell. “That should be me, not that lying bastard, we created the Silly Squad and he knows it,” cried Evil. “Cheer up…so what if we’re not rich and famous like Flea-Boy…at least we still have each other,” said Happy. Sad the Clown was just crying in the corner. “You know what…I’m going to sue Flea-Boy the Clown for Copyright Infringement and let the world know that we are the true creators of the Silly Squad, but where will we get the money to hire a good lawyer,” asked Evil. Now we go to the country club where Coyote, Flea-Boy the Clown, Termite and Mr. Hunter were playing a game of golf. “Hey Flea-Boy, I was wondering, I’m going to start my own TV network and I wanted to…,” asked Coyote. “Look Coyote, for the last time, I’m not selling the Silly Squad to you so let it go,” said Flea-Boy the Clown. “But listen Flea-Boy, all I own is a boxing promotion and that’s a dying business and I need more programming if I’m going to start my own TV network,” said Coyote. “Tell you what Coyote, I’ll give you Silly Squad programming on your TV network if you let me have a stake in it,” said Flea-Boy the Clown. “But it’s called the Coyote Corp Network, not the fifty-fifty network,” said Coyote. “Well if you want to have Silly Squad on the Coyote Corp network then that’s the only way,” said Flea-Boy the Clown. “Fine, you guys play without me, I’m going to the bar, see you later assholes,” cried Coyote. Coyote then fled the scene. “What a pussy, I’ll never figure out how he had gotten rich in the first place,” said Mr. Hunter. Now we go to Coyote who was drinking at the bar when he soon was visited by the Evil Clowns. “Who are you three clowns,” asked Coyote. “We’re the Evil Clowns and I’m their leader, I hear you want to own the Silly Squad, am I right,” asked Evil. “Yes, but why do you care,” asked Coyote. “Let’s just say we’re the true creators of the Silly Squad and that bastard Flea-Boy the Clown stole our idea, if you help us get the credit and money we deserve…we’ll give you the company,” said Evil. “Hmmm, alright, let’s sue that bastard Flea-Boy, now come with me to discuss some business,” said Coyote. Now Coyote is helping the Evil Clowns sue the Silly Squad. But will they prevail? This is the biggest trial the Silly Squad has ever faced!

Now we go to Flea-Boy the Clown’s office where he was just sitting around when Igor entered his office. “Igor, what do you want,” asked Flea-Boy the Clown. “Boss, did you hear the news,” cried Igor. “No what,” asked Flea-Boy the Clown. Igor then tossed a newspaper on Flea-Boy’s desk and the headline was “Silly Squad getting sued for Copyright Infringement”. “So wait, we’re getting sued again…by who,” asked Flea-Boy the Clown. “Some group called the Evil Clowns, and worst of all Coyote is funding them,” said Igor. “Wait the Evil Clowns, I haven’t seen them since my circus days…why do they want to sue me,” asked Flea-Boy the Clown. “Because the Evil Clowns said they came up with the idea of the Silly Squad and they want credit and full control of the company,” said Igor. “I guess we better hire another lawyer, call one and tell the Evil Clowns and Coyote we’ll see them in court,” said Flea-Boy the Clown. Now we go to the courthouse where the trial of the Evil Clowns vs. Flea-Boy the Clown for the credit of the creation of the Silly Squad was being held. “Order, order in the court, the case of The Evil Clowns vs. Flea-Boy the Clown will come to order,” said the judge. Coyote hired a whole team of lawyers to represent the Evil Clowns, while Flea-Boy the Clown only had one really good lawyer. The trail had many star witnesses including former circus performers Prestin the Opera Singing Flea, Steve the Lion Tamer, Bob the Lion, and Mangnifico the World’s Strongest Man. All of the witnesses spoke the truth and said that the Evil Clowns had created Silly Squad and not Flea-Boy the Clown. Little did the judge nor Flea-Boy know was that Coyote not only bribed the jury but Prestin the Opera Singing Flea, Steve the Lion Tamer, Bob the Lion, and Mangnifico the World’s Strongest Man as well. After a long trial, the judge found in favor of the Evil Clowns. By order of the court, the Evil Clowns were given the copyright credit in creating the Silly Squad and the Silly Squad Corporation must give the Evil Clowns complete control of the company. Now the Evil Clowns were the new owners of the Silly Squad and Flea-Boy the Clown was soon fired. Now that the Evil Clowns owed Silly Squad INC. they were now going to sell the company to Coyote Corp. But now even through now the Evil Clowns are credited with the creation of the Silly Squad…the Evil Clowns themselves actually didn’t create the Silly Squad. The Evil Clowns were so insane they only believed they created the Silly Squad. Which means all along the Silly Squad was truly created by Flea-Boy the Clown…and he would do anything to have his company back!

Before the Evil Clowns could sell the Silly Squad to Coyote Corp, the law found out the truth about the Evil Clowns. The Evil Clowns soon were guilty of lying to the federal court and that in fact they knew all along Flea-Boy the Clown created Silly Squad. Soon the Evil Clowns lost control of the Silly Squad Corporation and now Flea-Boy the Clown was owner of the Silly Squad once again. Since Coyote Corp couldn’t buyout the Silly Squad now that Flea-Boy the Clown owned the company again, they reached an agreement. Silly Squad INC. acquired a 50% stake in the Coyote Corp Network. Now Silly Squad programming would air on the Coyote Corp Network TV channel and Silly Squad was not owned by Coyote Corp. The Evil Clowns were now in jail for committing a different crime and Coyote was also in jail for bribing a jury. Flea-Boy the Clown finally was given the credit he deserved and that he created the Silly Squad which will forever be his legacy. The Silly Squad’s future is bright and now the Silly Squad Corporation seemed unstoppable!

THE END!
