Randy Jackson, Mario Lopez & MTV to be named in 40 million dollar idea theft lawsuit. "America's Next Best Dance Crew"
In January 2005, Clayton Woodbury, age 39, conceived a television show entitled " Dance Jam" which had hip hop street dance teams competing against each other head-to-head. Woodbury registered a treatment of his idea for "Dance Jam" with the Writers Guild of America on January 2, 2005.
On January 2, 2005, Clayton Woodbury sent copy of treatment to MTV producers Carol Eng, Stuart Cohen & Mikey Ireland. I was told by all three MTV would pass on idea. MTV unscrupulously lifted Woodbury' idea and incorporated it's signature elements into ' America's Best Dance Crew" without giving Wodbury credit or compensation for his originality. This is a breach of contract, breach of confidence and copyright infringement. They have lifited substanial and integral material from my idea. The concept is the same and there several similarities.
On May 18, Mr. Woodbury sent email to Co-President Tom Freston and several other MTV executives advising them of their offense. They were inform that lawsuit would be filed in 30 days if settlement is not offered.
On May 21, 2008 a complaint was filed with U.S. justice Department, the intellectual property theft division.
More press releases may follow.
