		Reid had the street cred but not the book savvy to run the $3,000,000,000 company so Zelnick, hoping to groom Reid into someone whom he could make more presentable to the collegiate board of BMG, made Reid his “pet project” and sent him to a 10 week summer seminar at Harvard Business School.
		But when Reid’s mentor, Zelnick, was fired it left no layer of insulation between “LA” and the rampant budget cuts that have been sweeping through BMG’s labels for over a year.
		Reid had to make his own executive decisions, and with only his instincts and Harvard Summer Camp training to assist him, the multi-platinum song writer has become increasingly paranoid, cleaning house of the remains of the Davis regime, even if it means paying off six-figure compensation packages.

		Moreover, Silas testified that in the past he had visited Reid and Edmonds while they were working in their recording studio and made specific suggestions regarding their in-progress compositions.
		Although Moore has established a reasonable possibility that Reid and Edmonds had an opportunity to copy his work, he has not demonstrated a substantial similarity between "She Can't Stand It" and "On Our Own." Accordingly, we affirm the district court's decision to grant the defendants' request for summary judgment.
		Defendants dispute many of Moore's factual claims, but we have accepted Moore's claims as long as they are reasonably supported by the record, as we must at this stage in the proceedings.
