Princess Demands Billions for ‘Titanic’ Copyright Infringement
Princess Samantha Kennedy claims one of the most profitable movies of all time is based on her unpublished biography and demands Paramount Pictures destroy the film and award her billions of dollars.
An Imperial Beach woman named Princess Samantha Kennedy claims the script of the movie Titanic unlawfully draws from her unpublished biography and family history, and last week filed a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures for copyright infringement.
For the alleged infringement she wants all copies of the movie destroyed, and to be awarded all money made by the movie. The second highest grossing film ever, according to IMDB.com Titanic made $1.8 billion in worldwide box office sales alone after its premiere in 1997.
Kennedy claims the family history and biography was written between 1990 and 1992 and covers generations dating back to the 1800s.
Her sister is Rose, Kate Winslet's character, and her father is Jack, Leonardo DiCaprio's character, she said. Other characters in the movie mimic other members of her family though none were passengers on the ship that sank 100 years ago.
The Princess in her name is because growing up in Memphis, her mother told her she is related to the queen of England.
"They have exploited me. Their actions are willful, willful. I will suffer the rest of my life," she said in a handwritten complaint filed in the United States District Court in San Diego.
"I have not been in a movie theatre since 1995 and recently discovered the infringement. I have hundreds of pages of side by side comparisons that a school grader, a child could easily read to see infringement, that I will present to the court. I have proof that Paramount Pictures had access to my work in writing from them," she said.
Kennedy claims she only recently saw the movie on television within the last year.
The complaint also requests a preliminary injunction against the studio benefiting from the movie while the matter is being disputed.
Titanic 3D is expected to premiere April 4.
The movie studio received a copy of Princess' bigoraphy she said when she filed another copyright infringement suit against Paramount in the early 1990s.
Paramount Pictures was contacted for comment but did not respond before this story was published.
Part of Titanic was filmed at studios especially made for the movie just south of the U.S.-Mexico border in Rosarito.

I hope that I was not set up here for the sole purpose of being attacked. I do not care about negative, mean spirited remarks, I care about justice. I am entitled to money from my property, my property. I know what I know and I see what I see, would you degrade a person who lost their house or there life? My property was used, should I be attacked unjustly because I have been robbed And thieved? This is not a witch hunt against me, I have a right to get money from my copyrights that I own. When you try to take away my rights, you are taking away your rights, everyone has a right to file a case in this country if they believe in their heart they have a case. If someone came into your home and robbed you and your family at gun point, do you have a right to report it? Would you want someone to make nasty remarks at your misfortune? I think not. I have a right to my property.

No, lady (and I use the term loosely), the article was not posted up for the sole purpose of you being attacked. It was posted to reveal just how ridiculous some people can be, especially when a lawyer gets involved. YOU YOURSELF set yourself up for attack when you logged in and started posting under the "Princess Samantha Kennedy" name.
And of course, one question — if this is supposedly ripped off from "an unpublished biography", how did the screenwriters get hold of the information?

I would also like to say I have more people who have commented to me that they believe in me than these few here who joined this site today so they could post a negative remark. You are entitled to your comments, so am I. I have a right to my property that was unjustly used, it was unauthorized. Me, my children and my grandchildren have been robbed of money from my copyrights, money owed to my heirs. Everyone got rich from copyrights that belonged to me. A copyright last the entire life of the person who owns it and 70 years after their death.

Actually if you wrote them and hade not filed for copyright protection you could still stop someone from using something you wrote. Under US law there is automatic copyright protection for any creative work whether you file or not. Filing however gives you more documentation of your copyright claim which is in your favor if you go to court. This is not a defense of Princess Whatever since if what she claims is true (which I doubt) then Titanic was based on a historical event and you can copyright a real event (you can copyright the text of a specific narrative, photo, or video of it but not the facts of what happened).

In copyright laws, it is the courts that order the copies to be destroyed, it is what is said in the laws, I am only quoting the laws of copyright. I am the one who was called about this case from this site, I did not know I was being set up for attacks. Very ugly business here. The greed comes from the makers of the motion picture. You didn't make any money, neither did I or my family. I really do not know how this sight first learned about this case, but, I was called. I have to defend myself against malicious and mean spirited comments. What difference does it make to you about this case that is none of your business, what do you have to gain from this to bring me into this and attacking me. What's in it for you and your over reacting and your attacks? No one who knows me has attacked me and find me to be credible and that they believe in me. Your remarks are immature, mean and over the top. I have a right to my property. And attacking my first name which is Princess is mean, I am beginning to believe all of you are the same person, we have had a stalking problem. Very sad. I feel sorry for a person who has nothing better to do than to attack people who have been robbed and victimized, it is too weird of you.
Sheryl Westleigh
12:35 pm on Friday, February 17, 2012
You need a better lawyer. If what you claim is true then Titanic was based on actual events and there is no copyright protection whatsoever on actual events. You could claim copyright infringement if someone published all or part of the book you claim to have written because you would have the copyright for the text but not the events if the actually happened.

In a word ... GREED comes to mind! How could this be considered "copywrite infraction" when her biography and family history was not published? It seems rather far-fetched that she would take this step so many years AFTER the movie came out! I believe she just wants to take advantage of the success of the movie!

I am done here, I am going to surround myself with people with some sense in their heads and not be in the middle of this snake pit of rattlesnakes and their attack machine. I need mature people around me who know how to respect other people's civil rights. Hopefully you will never be in this situation that me and my family are going through and as the old saying goes what goes around comes around. Do you always circle around a grandmother and attack. My son said you will laugh at this, but he told me to tell you: Martin Luther King said people who hate see good as evil and evil as good, see truths as lies and lies as truths. People who hate see beauty as ugliness and ugliness as beauty. And my grandson said to tell you, you suck.

I wanted to add that last night after your site called us and asked for our story, we were very sad to read today all this meaness, it looks like from the same person who has stalked and harrassed me and Adam, the same kind of words, especially about the Royals, it is disturbing. That is why we moved to Imperial Beach in August of 2010. And before that me and Adam were in a car accident where this big truck hit us, we were in the hospital and I still have pain from it. The people here have been so good to us and have gotten to know us here and really like us. Then last night after you called for our story, we were so hurt and shocked to read here that one of our friends passed away, Russell, who owned the Dollar Store. Adam and I would go in there and get icecream, Russell was such a nice man, I cried last night and very hurt to learn about him dying, he did even seem to be sick at all. I told him about my days of being a singer and that I recorded songs back east years ago that played on the radio and every time we would go in to get icecream, he ask me to sing Rocky Top Tennessee to the customers, we would all have a chuckle, he really had a sense of humor. We will pray for his family, He will be missed, thank you for putting his photo here.

My autistic son and I filed the lawsuit together, he is also the plaintiff, we did not know we would be harrassed and attacked.

This is not an organized attack against you. The commenters are not affiliated with the news website that posted this article. If you read a story about someone who genuinely thinks that they're a werewolf, or Napoleon, or one of Santa's Elves; it's shocking and funny. And since the website here lets anyone comment through their facebook account, and since nearly everyone is on Facebook these days, itnaturally attracted a lot of comments. These people are just expressing a natural reaction to someone who is obviously delusional.
I do feel bad for the poor lady who really truly thinks that all these things are real. But she can't help it. She should have a guardian; someone to prevent her from seeing things that worsen her delusion and can shock or upset her. Someone to keep her off of the internet at large and away from people who aren't used to carefully choosing their words so as not to instigate her paranoia.

Listen, they are not attacking you in any way; however, they are expressing how ludicrous they see this situation to be. The movie is not telling the story of your ancestors, it is telling a fictional love story and the set was a ship that actually existed. Any likeness of names, even if they are eerily similar, were not stolen from your history. Unless you have irrefutable proof that all of the people you claim whose names are stolen were aboard that ship and that story was not a story, but in fact real, then you have no case and I earnestly beg you to go see a therapist. I hope the people who are really harassing you (not the people on this site) stop, so that you may get some rest and relaxation. Unknown phone calls can be a scary thing.

Hi Princess - since I saw this story I have enjoyed looking at your FB page and reading your several websites. I just want you to know that I think you deserve the name 'Princess' as much as anyone does. You obviously make an effort to look beautiful and classy and surround yourself with beautiful things. You have distinguished yourself with your creativity and your truly kind heart. I can tell you care about people and work hard at your image and I appreciate all your effort in the show business industry. I understand your need to tell your story - most artists have that need. I only ask you to be careful. I saw on one of your sites that you also came up with the screenplay for 'Forrest Gump'. Now you are claiming responsibility and owenrship of two of the most popular films ever made. And calling into question the honor and morality of every person (including the actors) involved in those films. I would be very sad to think Tom Hanks agreed to be in a film with a stolen script. I am not calling you a liar, I am simply asking you to review your accusations and think about the people you may be hurting, especially when you may be wasting the time of people employed in the legal and entertainment industries. I think the people that contacted you for this article did NOT have your best interests at heart - they did set you up. Lastly, I think you are a true lady and feel honored to have learned a bit about you.

I have recently published a love story like titanic go a head and sue me to I mean it's about a man and a women who meet and fall in love and come from 2 different worlds you can go ahead a sue alot of film makers and authors and I'm pretty sure William Shakespeare wrote something like this too.

You say you stem from the same bloodline as the Queen of England, then what in the hell are you doing living in Imperial Beach as opposed to living in the UK somewhere with a nice little noble title, servants, a manor, etc. Your mentally challenged autistic son would be cared for by professionals not a 1st class NUT CASE such as yourself; Nor would you dare to embarrass your regal counterparts by behaving as anything but regal. As for you never hearing of Titanic until nearly a decade and a half after the movies release lets say for a second we but that which of course nobody does, you mean to tell me that your son,grandchildren, or your attorneys (from your previous lawsuit against the studio) none of these people ever seen or heard of Titanic. Come on ..... Not to mention the Oscars, Leno, tabloids (but I guess you've never seen an Enquirer either? Only if you don't go to the supermarket) But I'm quite sure you'll have an amazing tale for that too...My ONLY hope is that the studios team of attorneys dont pull the old its cheaper to pay her off than go to court and have a mountain of legal fees.

The very same woman who also tried to sue over Forrest Gump, guess what, she lost that case too.
Samantha Kennedy appeals pro se the district court's summary judgment dismissal of her copyright infringement action against the producers of the movie "Forrest Gump." We affirm the district court's conclusion that Kennedy failed to show the existence of any infringement on her copyrighted works nor did she prove access to her copyrighted works by anyone during the production of the movie.

Well, the story could go back to 1953 version of Titanic. There was a "love story" in that movie as well although not as involved as the 1997 version. I suppose Walter Lords estate could also file suite as well. And lets us not forget The Unsinkable Molly Brown. They even had a nod to that movie at the dinner table. Molly talking about burning the money in a stove. No, I don't think this lawsuite has any bases for going forward.And what about the real J. Dawsons family? Couldn't they sue as well? Even though his first name was not Jack, he was a real person on the Titanic. A steward, I believe. No, I'm sorry, but Titanic was such a big story in 1997 when it was released and since, I can't believe you just heard about it. Too much time has passed.

You all need to settle down and stop calling people names. You don't even know if the person claiming to be Princess Samantha Kennedy here is actually the real woman. In order to prove Copyright Infringement, the claimant has to prove a) authorship, b) date of authorship, c) that James Cameron read her manuscript, d) that is substantially similar to Titanic. You cannot coptright an idea or character names, and even if Cameron knowingly borrowed from the Kennedy manuscript, that doesn't in and of itself represent a copyright infringement. Let the courts sort it out, like they did with Coming To America. And be civil!

So your meaning to tell me you have never heard of the 1997 movie Titanic up until this past year?? One of the me most famous movies of all time? Wow...Im 23 years old and remember this movie coming out. It seems like you should have too considering your oder then I am. Even if you havent been inside a movie theater since 1995 it has been on TV in the years since.

I will not destroy my copy of titanic. It makes every woman and little girl have hope that they will find their soal mates, and for you to try and rip that away from them is horiable and selfish. I don't like you. Your making a fool of yourself telling us about how your friend died and you were in a car accident. Trying to make us feel sorry for you. No, we don't because when you attack a movie that has helped people on their worst days, we attack you. Your a horiable person wanting money and sympathy because your life has been so hard. Well guess what lives hard. I hate everything you are.
