{"value"=>"<p>The Litigation series documents Hemingway's legal conflicts concerning copyright, international piracy, and libel, as well as Hemingway's testimonies given in court cases. The copyright and piracy cases relate to the unauthorized publication of translations of Hemingway works overseas. These include suits in Argentina, India, Italy, the Netherlands, and Russia. Libel cases were both against and on behalf of Hemingway. Of note is a series of letters between Hemingway and Speiser concerning a possible Canadian libel suit over \"The Snows of Kilimanjaro.\" The complaint came from the widow of Canadian air force pilot Lieutenant Colonel William Barker, who is briefly mentioned in the short story. Hemingway heard of Barker's murderous escapades from several Canadian aviators who were present at the incident. Also of interest is Hemingway's testimony for the case <span class=\"title\">Easton vs. 20th Century Fox</span> fought over Alfred Hitchcock's movie <span class=\"title\">Lifeboat</span> (1947). This file includes a copy of Hitchcock's telegram asking Hemingway to write the script for the movie.</p>"}
