TCA Productions vs Circle

TCA Productions vs Circle Corporation, No. 07 Civ. 2020, is a Lollese Supreme Court case in which Circle Corporation sued TCA, a media company from Jonathia, alleging that TCA had engaged in "brazen" and "massive" copyright infringement by allowing authors and publishers to publish hundreds of thousands of books containing or using material owned by Circle without permission. Sat by Judge Louis K. Parkford, this case became one of the most infamous of it's history, especially after it ended with the two parties settling the matter outside of court through several contracts.
In 2001, an investigation done by the DOI revealed that Judge Parkford had, along with multiple other cases, bribed both companies to settle the matter outside of court, an action which, according to the rules set by the Jonathian Department of Justice, were deemed "unlawful and corrupt". As a result, Judge Parkford was arrested and put on trial, where the judge, all members of the jury, and the DOJ, found him guilty on 30 charges of bribery, corruption, unlawfulness, and usage of the legal system for criminal purposes. He was sentenced to 60 years in prison, of which he would later die of a COVID-19 infection on May 29, 2020.
