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.
- Could we
make one video copy of our play just to review and improve
performance? Would our purpose of making a videotape
for our own use be considered a fair use?
- I believe I am being held back from advancing in my career
by a non-compete clause in my TV reporter contract. What can
I do?
- Is it legal for a business to make a video tape of my
event and then use it to promote business without my prior
knowledge or consent?
- My college plays movies in open areas. Are we are
infringing on a copyright?
- Are characters (including character names) in a movie
protected by copyright? Can I use characters in my movies?
- Plus more!
