Plaintiff Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (the "Academy") alleges:
3

Nature of Action
1.
promoting excellence in motion picture filmmaking. As part ofits mission, the Academy
industry. The Academy provides tickets to select recipients pursuant to acontract providing
that the tickets may not be sold ortransferred, and that any tickets which have been sold or
10
transferred will be revoked and their bearers will be trespassers at the ceremony. The
11
restrictions on the transfer of tickets and the attendees at the ceremony are necessary for,
12
13
2.
14
ticket brokers who offer themthousands, sometimes tens of thousands, of dollars for the
15
tickets. The ticket brokers then resell or transfer the tickets to members ofthe general
16
public. Inthis manner, the ticket brokers induce recipients to breach their contracts, interfere
17
with those contracts, and aid and abet the purchasers' trespass at Academy Awards
18
ceremonies.
19
3.
20
sale and transfer of Academy Award tickets to members ofthe general public. And, in
21
doing so, Defendants have used the Academy's trademarks to promote and advertise the sale
22
of those tickets.
23
4.
By this action, the Academy seeks to enforce its rights with respect to its
24
Academy Awards ceremonies including, inter alia, recovering compensatory and punitive
25
damages and obtaining injunctive relief toprevent future acts inducing breaches of contract,
26
interfering with contract, aiding and abetting trespass, and infringing the Academy's
27
trademarks.
28
99998-09710/7901565.2
Parties
5.
The Academy is, and at all times mentioned herein was, anon-profit
corporation organized and existing under the laws ofthe State ofCalifornia, with its
principal place ofbusiness in Beverly Hills, California. The Academy was founded in 1927
by adistinguished group of motion picture industry leaders for the purposes of, inter alia,
advancing motion picture arts and sciences and promoting cultural, educational and
8
9
6.
The Academy is informed and believes, and on that basis alleges, that
Defendant Key Access, Inc. ("Key Access") is a corporation organized and existing under
.10
the laws ofthe State ofCalifornia, with its principal place cfbusiness in Los Angeles,
11
California. Key Access purports to be acommercial ticket broker, which offers to provide
12
13
7.
The Academy is informed and believes, and on that basis alleges, that
14
Defendant Dave Canter ("Canter") is an individual residing in Los Angeles, California. The
15
Academy is further informed and believes, and on that basis alleges, that Canter is, and at all
16
relevant times was, the founder, owner, and chief executive officer of Key Access.
17
8.
The true names and capacities ofDefendants Does 1through 50, inclusive,
18
are presently unknown to the Academy, who therefore sues said defendants by such fictitious
19
names pursuant to California Code ofCivil Procedure 47^. The Academy is informed and
20
believes, and on that basis alleges, that each ofthe fictitiously named defendants is
21
responsible in some manner for the occurrences alleged herein. The Academy therefore sues
22
these defendants by such fictitious names and will amend this complaint to state their true
23
24
9.
The Academy is informed and believes, and on that basis alleges, that at all
25
times mentioned herein, each defendant was acting as the actual or ostensible agent,
26
employee and/or co-conspirator ofeach other defendant and, in performing the actions
27
alleged herein, was acting in the course and scope ofsuch agency, employment and/or
28
conspiracy.
-^
-*
N..1
ai
99998-O9710/7901565.2
10.
The Academy is informed and believes, and on that basis alleges, that at all
times mentioned herein, Key Access has been and now is a mere shell, instrumentality, and
conduit through which Canter and Does 1through 50 have been and are conducting the sale
or transfer of Academy Awards ceremony tickets. The Academy is further informed and
believes, and on that basis alleges, that Canter and Does. 1through 50 have beenand are
directly managing, controlling, and dominating the operations of Key Access, and that a
unity of interest hasexisted and currently does exist between Key Access, on the one hand,
and Canterand Does 1 through 50, on the other. Under the circumstances, adherence to the
fiction of a separate legal existence of Key Access would promote injustice. To avoid an
10
inequitable result, Key Access should be regarded as the alter ego of Canter and Does 1
11
through 50.
12
13
14
11.
15
controversy exceeds this Court's jurisdictional minimum. Venue is proper in Los Angeles
16
County because the Academy is a resident of Los Angeles County, Canter and Key Access
17
are residents of Los Angeles County, the county in which Does 1 through 50 reside is
18
unknown to the Academy, and a substantial part of the events giving rise to the claims for
19
relief, including the breach of the contract in issue and the trespass at the Academy Awards

The commercial ticket brokers then resell ortransfer the tickets to members ofthe general

Defendants have engaged, and will continue to engage, inthe unauthorized sale and transfer
of Academy Awards tickets to members ofthe public. The Academy is further informed
