April 14, 2008: Entertainment Attorney Gordon Firemark joins us from The Law and Video podcast. Gordon clears the air on legal issues for filmmakers and videographers who are looking for answers on starting a production business, copyright issues, contracts, intellectual property, distribution or general rights as a videographer.
- How do I go about starting
an independent record label?
- I am filming a cops type show for local
TV. What can I show and what can I not show?
- I'm in the Adult entertainment
industry producing videos. I want to have people that
work with me and around me sign a confidentiality
agreement so that they cant discuss or speak about
anything that has to do with the videos. Is this possible?
- What is all the hype I hear about having to
pay a $3,000 licensing fee whenever I author a Blu ray
DVD? Creating or using a DVD device without
Hollywood's permission isn't allowed because
technology that breaks the DRM is illegal under the
DMCA?
