Biography

Culpepper was one of four children, three sons, of Robert Campbell Culpepper, Sr., a native of Jackson Parish, who was an educator, the clerk of court, and then from 1908 to 1912 a member of the Louisiana State Senate for Jackson and Ouachita parishes.^[3] The senior Culpepper thereafter studied law, was admitted to the bar, and relocated to Alexandria, where from 1924 to 1942, he was a judge of the 9th Judicial District Court, the same body on which his son later sat. William Culpepper's mother was his father's second wife. The former Margarete Helen Albright (1888-1949), a native of Durham, North Carolina, married Robert Culpepper in 1915 in DeRidder in Beauregard Parish. Judge Robert Culpepper's first wife was the former Margaret Diane Wyatt (1876-1911), the mother of William Culpepper's half-sister and half-brother.^[4]

Culpepper spent numerous summer weekends from the 1930s to the 1950s at the family camp in the former resort community of Fishville near Alexandria. In 1939, he graduated in 1939 from Tulane University Law School in New Orleans. He served in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. On active duty for three years in the Pacific Theater of Operations, he received the Bronze Star and retired with the rank of brigadier general. He was active in the Episcopal Church in the United States in both Alexandria, St. James and earlier St. Timothy's, and in Little Rock, St. Mark's. He was the founding president of the United Way of America in Alexandria-Pineville. He was active in the Boy Scouts of America. In 1973, he was chairman of the Alexandria municipal home rule city charter commission, whose members also included a late state representative, Jock Scott. The panel wrote the blueprint for the current mayor-council government, which voters approved in 1974 to replace, effective June 1977, the city commission government. He received a "Civic Oscar" from The Alexandria Daily Town Talk . He was an active hunter and golfer.^[5]

After the death of his first wife, the former Thelma Gilham Polk (1921-2000), Culpepper married his surviving widow, the former Jane Ann Foote Jarrell, sister of another Alexandria jurist, George M. Foote, a former city court judge who died in 2010. Culpepper had a surviving younger brother, Robert C. Culpepper, Jr., a physician. There are three Culpepper children, Bill (Barbara) Culpepper, Rev. Lamar Polk (Cathy) Culpepper, and Mallory (David) Marsh, who is named for a great-grandfather; six grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren.^[5]

In his later years, he resided in Little Rock, Arkansas, where he died on October 4, 2015.^[5]

Fair use is a doctrine in United States law that permits limited use of copyrighted material without having to first acquire permission from the copyright holder. Fair use is one of the limitations to copyright intended to balance the interests of copyright holders with the public interest in the wider distribution and use of creative works by allowing as a defense to copyright infringement claims certain limited uses that might otherwise be considered infringement. Unlike "fair dealing" rights that exist in most countries with a British legal history, the fair use right is a general exception that applies to all different kinds of uses with all types of works and turns on a flexible proportionality test that examines the purpose of the use, the amount used, and the impact on the market of the original work.

The Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act (OCILLA) is United States federal law that creates a conditional 'safe harbor' for online service providers (OSP) by shielding them for their own acts of direct copyright infringement as well as shielding them from potential secondary liability for the infringing acts of others. OCILLA was passed as a part of the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and is sometimes referred to as the "Safe Harbor" provision or as "DMCA 512" because it added Section 512 to Title 17 of the United States Code. By exempting Internet intermediaries from copyright infringement liability provided they follow certain rules, OCILLA attempts to strike a balance between the competing interests of copyright owners and digital users.

Viacom International, Inc. v. YouTube, Inc., No. 07 Civ. 2103, is a U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York case in which Viacom sued YouTube, a video-sharing site owned by Google, alleging that YouTube had engaged in "brazen" and "massive" copyright infringement by allowing users to upload and view hundreds of thousands of videos owned by Viacom without permission. A motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal was filed by Google and was granted in 2010 on the grounds that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's "safe harbor" provisions shielded Google from Viacom's copyright infringement claims. In 2012, on appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, it was overturned in part. On April 18, 2013, District Judge Stanton again granted summary judgment in favor of defendant YouTube. An appeal was begun, but the parties settled in March 2014.
