Source: Council for Economic Education (EconEdLink) | Type: Lesson
Students learn about the film taken of the John F. Kennedy assassination by Zapruder. The US Government claims the film should be turned over but the Zapruder family claims it is their private property and will lose revenue from potential video sales. Students investigate the cost of editing and duplicating videos, advertising costs, and other related expenses and revenues. Discussion also includes eminent domain and court of equity.
