charges of plagiari

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A federal
judge Monday refused to block the
release of Steven Spielberg’s Amis
tad, saying the moviemaker did not
appear to have plagiarized a novel
about the 19th-century mutiny
aboard a slave ship.
U.S. District Judge Audrey Collins
rebuffed a move by Barbara Chase-
Riboud to stop the film’s premiere
Wednesday in New York and Los An
geles and its opening on Friday in
the nation’s 50 biggest markets.
But the judge said Chase-Riboud
can press ahead with her lawsuit and
try to prove at a trial her claim that
much oftheAmistodscreenplay was
stolen from her historical novel Echo
of Lions.
“The judge said there was no
reasonable likeliness of success on
the merits of the case,” Bert Fields,
an attorney for Spielberg and his
DreamWorks studio, said. “She
took apart their claims of similari
ties and said these things appear to
come from history.”
Chase-Riboud said she was dis
appointed but was confident she
would prevail at trial, which has not
yet been scheduled.
“A preliminary injunction is the
only protection a poor person has
against a rich infringer,” she said
outside court. “I’m doing this for
all writers.”
The dispute has turned increas
ingly personal and vitriolic.
“What an irony that the
renowned filmmaker who produced
and directed The Color Purple would
be a party to denying a prominent
black American of letters and the
arts her rightful recognition for rais
ing public consciousness about slav
ery,” Chase-Riboud’s lawyers said in
court papers.
The allegations challenge the
reputation of Hollywood’s best-
