Intro topic
Some drama at the
2008 New Media Expo in Vegas:
Cheesy lounge act assault a videographer and spit on some
people in the audience in an attempt to enforce his request
on not to be videotaped.
"This violation of
XXXX's rights is punishable by fines of up to $50,000 and JAIL
TIME. Our attorneys have documented this violation and if these videos
are not removed from all platforms and destroyed immediately, we will
pursue every available remedy at our disposal."
Listener questions:
 Alan asks: Is it illegal to record a public stream/lifecast, if the
resulting file was not used for commercial use? Could the recorded
stream be added to YouTube or a personal page without recourse as
well?
Nick asks: I was recording an interview with a city official with
his permission. After the interview, he asked to get another official
to help answer some of the questions that he couldn't. When the second
official comes in, I inform him he's being recorded as I'm required to
under New Hampshire law. He tells me I don't have permission to
record, so I stop. My question is, am I allowed to use the audio of
him saying I cannot record him in a video? I clearly told him he was
being recorded, so he knew what he said in the next few seconds would
be recorded. It seems synonymies to when news companies release video
of people refusing to talk to cameras.
Wayne asks: hi, my question is when i film big car show events, do
i need big company's permission to put on my film, if there car is in
my film?
Dan asks: I have heard from several sources that if you were to
only use a beginning 30 second clip of a song that this is alright as
long as it does not surpass the song's 30 second mark. Is there any
truth to this statement? If not, how do a lot of podcast get away
with this?
Edwin asks: When I shoot a music video for a client, exactly what
forms do I need to have them sign that would give me permission to use
the video as part of my professional reel so I can promote my services
to others?
