Via Washington Post: Tyler Perry wins suit over copyright infringement:
"A woman who accused actor-screenwriter Tyler Perry of stealing material from her play for his movie "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" lost her federal lawsuit against the entertainer on Tuesday.
Jurors in the East Texas town of Marshall found Donna West did not present evidence that supported her claim of copyright infringement."
