Copyright, Right to Publicity, Fair Use links
Since so many posts have been made in reference to Copyright / right to publicity / fair use, I decided to put some links up where people can look first before asking. If I am lucky, a Mod will sticky this somewhere and we can eliminate the multitude of threads. As always, If there is ANY doubt, the best thing to do is contact a lawyer! Right to Publicity Links Copyright Law Copyright myths Copyright and Fair Use Overview Disclaimer: The above links are public websites that contain information outside the control of this poster. For those sites that are not government entities, the information, although reviewed, may be in error. (although I highly doubt it) The above is not meant to take the place of consulting an IP Lawyer! Oh yeah, You can not hold me liable for any lawsuit arising from the use of this information........ Jul 11 05 10:48 am Link Ty...I'm going to sue you for posting those links without asking those that wrote it! (rotfl- you know, of course, I am just joking) Thanks for the info. It is needed as a resource on here. Jul 11 05 11:18 am Link Posted by Sun Karma: Uh-oh. I should have put up there links to court decisions about hyperlinks. :-P Jul 11 05 11:51 am Link Good idea.

National Press Photographer's page on Model Releases (including example forms:) http://www.nppa.org/professional_develo … /releases/ M Jul 11 05 11:56 am Link Posted by StMarc: I was waiting for you to show up in this thread! I knew you had to have more good links! Jul 11 05 12:02 pm Link Jul 11 05 02:54 pm Link Well, I'll try making it a sticky, but as we have seen, sticky posts aren't always read. All the links listed in this thread contain helpful information, but should not be considered a replacement for competent legal counsel. I suggest reading the information contained in those links, but contacting an IP attorney if you need contracts drawn up or need to start litigation. Jul 12 05 02:21 am Link Thanks Theda. Two more links of interest: What to do if an ISP/OSP has a Copyrighted piece of yours 4th Circuit ruling on ISP liability for third party posts re: Copyright infringement Jul 12 05 12:19 pm Link Great post, this will be very useful for referring people too.

Aug 05 05 04:04 pm Link New link for a case to follow in the New York Area concerning Right to privacy and the definition of Commercial Link here Aug 08 05 07:06 am Link I see one of the mods decided to unsticky this thread. Aug 09 05 07:09 am Link Yep..yep...yep..... Best thing to do is to go to an IP attorney in your state with your questions and concerns.. because there are so many loosly worded statements here..that can land you in a pale of hot water.. A meeting with one may cost you 200 bucks but it is worth it, + it's a write off.. JP Aug 09 05 08:36 am Link Aug 09 05 08:47 am Link Please Sticky Me again! Aug 10 05 06:36 am Link Before this gets stickied again here is another link... LINK: STATE OF FLORIDA - Statutes - CHAPTER 540 - COMMERCIAL DISCRIMINATION See section: 540.08 Unauthorized publication of name or likeness This is very similar to the NY statute except that there is a "get out" for shots of the public who are not otheriwse identified - e. g. crowd shots or street photography Also see section: 540.09 Unauthorized publication of photographs or pictures of areas to which admission is charged. Concerning shooting and publication of images of certain PLACES and BUILDINGS Studio36 Aug 10 05 07:09 am Link thanks studio36uk. I wish they would sticky this again. Since it was unstickied, 3 threads I believe have shown up on this issue. It is a good resource. Just because a mod thinks that he is ... Nevermind. I will be nice. Aug 10 05 01:19 pm Link Still no sticky back on this thread. Aug 11 05 06:54 am Link John Paul wrote: I love that. Aug 11 05 08:04 am Link |
