Geez… No thanks… This video is very enlightening, it’s obvious you know what you are taking about, but this industry is ridicules

This is so helpful! Thank you!

A friend is a piano player and has asked me to produce a promotional video of him playing. The video will go on his (and my) website. It will not go anywhere else. He is performing a few songs from the 1940’s such as “I Wished on the Moon” and other standards. Do I need to obtain rights for this video?

Respect. I agree. Negotiating everything up front with the budget.

But why do some uses (not advertisements) require a photo release etc?

You can also call them the P word because that happens heaps more than the assaults

You can assault them though, I know because it happens to me

*Copyright Claims Board--* I recall two professional photographers sharing their CCB experiences: They remarked that it can be A LOT of work to bring CCB infringement claims (to determination) vs. the relatively low dollar returns (even with timely registrations).

Good one..... Mama mia!.. it is not all bneer and skittles when it comes to creating podcast content..... i'm trying to absorb info from your videos......but I think a lawyer is the safe bet.....I see your contact details....which one is best for more enquiries about your services? ..Thanks..

good info......i've watchwed a few of your videos.....I'm looking to kick off a channelthat will have segments of candid camera, for humour, on it. Do you have any videos showing the necessary steps I need to take so as not to get stung legally? ..Many thanks.

Thanks, Gordon! Can I assume from this that if I'm doing "on the street" interviews and asking people questions in a public park that I don't have to get their consent on camera before the discussion? I've been doing that but it's a little awkward (i.e. hey do you agree to be on KZbin and I can use your image without paying you or having any control, etc.)

Great informative video. Have you made the video informing your viewers where to get permission as you mentioned near the end of this video?

This is a helpful clip. Thank you.

Thank you Sir

This is fucking bullshit! NO! You do NOT "need" permission to make fan films or remake pre-existing movies as long as you're doing it FOR FREE, create new content largely from scratch, and the people involved in making the original source material are credited. There is NOTHING immoral about remaking a movie without permission because it's already out there and it's famous anyway. Sadly, yes, it is "technically" illegal because it is copyright infringement, but how likely would the original creators of a movie or TV show get pissed off and threaten the cops to raid your home if you simply make your own interpretation of it for fun AND for free? Probably fucking unlikely! Most filmmakers who are soft-hearted would accept the idea and might probably even encourage it! It's important to distinguish morality from legality. Remaking copyrighted movies and TV shows for free and without permission is (unfortunately) illegal but it is NOT immoral!

GREAT theme Gordon!!! Hahaha

Welp, i wanted to play music from indie artists on my podcast, even though the artists themselves gave me a yes. So i am guessing that going over the lyrics and then sharing links to buy the music is another no-no? I cannot afford licensure.

What company or companies license my original muzik universally and who do I "speak with" at these companies? And I think that your video is the only video that I saw regarding muzik licensing on KZbin 🙏🏼 THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR VALUABLE KNOWLEDGE

Also sir do you have a direct link for a consultation?

If someone has a KZbin channel with very low subscribers but they don't have a trademark on it would you be able to take that name and put a trademark on it? And if so what would that mean for the KZbinr what do you have to change his name?

This is such a good comprehensive overview of the components you need to think about when you’re working with other creatives.

if i say on my podcast my dad doesnt come to see me and the i also say i belive any man that doesnt see his kid is a dead beat can that be defamation?

This is great information Gordon, thank you

This is straight up bad advice lmfao, if a teacher can read a book to their class, any KZbinr can read the book out loud to their audience. Just because this hasn't been tested much in court (because copyright holders understand this), doesn't mean you need to obtain permission from the copyright holder. If you can argue you're teaching instead of entertaining, that qualifies as transformative use, as referenced by case law in the few cases where a copyright holder has been stupid enough to go after someone for reading out loud.

thank so much for this information. I know there are so many podcasts out that read whole children's picture books. is this illegal? do i need to get permission to read a children's picture book on my podcast?

@12:08 Woah! Super generous with the shoutout Gordon and Tamera! Thanks! P.S. Thanks for going to video. P.P.S. Tamera FTW with the analysis that DC/Marvel took the "L" by default rather than jump up and down, point back, and risk a finding of abandonment..or (eek) genericism.

Thank you

What if we wanted to make a video using scenes from a movie but not publish or make it public in anyway?

Hello Gordon, I'm trying to find out how and where to properly license a theme song for a specific 1970's tv show to use for a weekly podcast. I've had no luck so far. Could you point me in the right direction to research this? Thank you in advance for any and all help! :)

What if I want to keep my name private? how would I go about registering the name without my name being attached to it as people can easily look it up? Do I have to do this through a private co. based in Montana, New Mexico etc.? This is really important because of trolling, doxing and stalking issues that could arise.

Can you make a step by step video tutorial? Im so confused and am STRUGGLING to find the publishers, copyright owner, master owner ect. ;-;

Nice

In my experience on KZbin, if the original copyright owner doesn't like your parody (especially if it conflicts with their political views) they will have it taken down. Period.

Thank you Gordon.

Hey Gordon, for those who don't have the money to trademark their podcast name, 1. does a common law trademark do anything. 2. If I, was to name my podcast my own personal name for example (Ron Brown) and also use a small "Tagline", would a person be OK with only a common law trademark?

Thank you so much for this video

Thank you for this. Are clergy included in that public figure rule? I have a Catholic priest that I feel emotionally and spiritually abused me. I have tons of emails showing how he doesn’t know how to regulate emotions (my opinion). I feel he is unsafe and people should be warned about him and his community. If I share my opinions, experiences and even shared emails that showed how he spoke to me, is that protected or could there be legal consequences if he wanted try? What if I shared all my experiences naming him and his community in a KZbin channel interview or even in a book? I’m trying to write a book (hopefully I can complete and get published), so I’m so glad I came across your channel for when I will need legal help with that.

Gordon, awesome podcast show, thank you so much for the free guide.

I also recognized the trends in how long music that was copyright-deposited lasts. Usually, this is for the life of the music creator + 75 years. But here comes Sonny Bono, and this means trouble for podcast creators using music - now the copyright extends to the life of the creator + 95 years - so hence, 20 more years tacked on. Keenly, this was because the copyright bigwigs got angry about the "Amen Break" being inappropriately appropriated and disseminated for over 20 years or so, until Zero-G put an end to all of that in that famous drum break by copyrighting that track itself, disappointing the "hip-hop" world of content creators.

We know that DJs who do podcasts on KZbin try to avoid "copyright strikes" on any copyrighted commercially recorded music that they put on there by "speaking over" the commercially recorded music for educational purposes. But I also know a fair amount about copyright law too, since I had deposited my own music myself to the Library of Congress. We know Section 107 of the Copyright Law allows a podcast producer to play copyrighted music for purpose of scholarship or education. Obviously only a part of it. But get beyond that, then you are running afoul of the law, and the only way out is to get what is called a mechanical license to play such copyrighted material on one's podcasts. Otherwise, the podcaster could be slapped with infringement accusations. There is some leeway here. If you play already-recorded music by record labels on KZbin that are not the bigwigs (BMI, or UMG, or Sony, for instance), and just independent record labels on your podcasts (so mainly DIY-only music), the DIY record labels will not be so aggressive to sue the podcaster because their recorded music is only for a small amount of following--DIY audiences, and not yet mainstream music. That means if you play a whole DIY music track without speaking over it, this will not be picked up by the major record label algorithms (because the indy labels usually do not have such algorithms), and you won't be copyright-struck on KZbin. Also look into Creative Commons if all else fails.

This is so scary! And no way in my life time would i watch another movie with a fake johnny depp! Or a a fake any of my favourite actors for that matter! Actors are actors because its their profession. I'm just glad im 45 and had the chance to live b4 the internet! Imagine goung to see a pink floyd concert and none of them even knew about it? Even worse an elvis presley one! Thats just fuct up!

Amazing concept! I like!!!! I will suscribe!

Yes, I set my clock and I forgot about it

Ahhh, I missed this one. I'll catch you next Tuesday!

Couldn't we at least block specific ads? Progressive for example. If I will never use their services wouldn't it be smarter to play me different ads?

I know I’m late but how exactly do you contact an owner, like let’s say I want to use part of an Iron Maiden song in a film and put it on tubi, would I just email them or something?
