Photography and Image Rights.
So you went on vacation and took some great photographs with your new digital camera. Some are of famous buildings, some have people in them, some don’t. You post them on your website and get comments from your friends about how great the photos are and that you should sell them to a magazine.
-
Copyright Preregistration.
Copyright preregistration is a service intended for works that have had a history of prerelease infringement. Copyright preregistration focuses on the infringement of movies, recorded music, and other copyrighted materials before copyright owners have had the opportunity to fully complete or market their products.
-
Internet Domain Names as Trademarks.
Registering and using a domain name is easy, just be the first person to register it, or purchase the registration rights from someone else. As long as you pay your registration fee each year you can use the domain name as you wish, provided you are not breaking the law or infringing on another’s rights. However, using a domain name in commerce to the point that it can receive federal trademark registration is not so easy, and in some cases not possible.
-
Obscenity Laws.
With the ever shortening attention span of the public, entertainers and entertainment providers keep pushing the envelope, presenting content that is often more “edgy” and outrageous than ever. Content that was taboo just a decade ago is finding its way not only into satellite/cable broadcasting but also onto the public airwaves as part of popular primetime traditional network programs.
