bourne co . music publishers
on october 3, 2007, bourne co. music publishers filed a lawsuit accusing the fox show "family guy" of infringing its copyright on the song "when you wish upon a star", through a parody song entitled "i need a jew" appearing in the episode "when you wish upon a weinstein". bourne co., the sole united states copyright owner of the song, alleged the parody pairs a "thinly veiled" copy of their music with antisemitic lyrics. named in the suit were 20th century fox film corp., fox broadcasting co., cartoon network, macfarlane, and murphy; the suit sought to stop the program's distribution and asked for unspecified damages. bourne argued that "i need a jew" uses the copyrighted melody of "when you wish upon a star" without commenting on that song, and that it was therefore not a first amendment-protected parody per the ruling in "campbell v. acuff-rose music, inc." on march 16, 2009, united states district judge deborah batts held that "family guy" did not infringe on bourne's copyright when it transformed the song for comical use in an episode.
