There IS that risk... but searching domain name can be as simple as typing it into your browser, rather than using a domain name registrar to run the search.

As soon as possible. If you have a distinctive channel title and don't want others to compete unfairly by adopting confusingly similar names.

It sounds like a conversation with an attorney is in order.

If you've licensed via ASCAP, then as long as the license covers livestreaming/broadcasts, you should be fine. But depending on the platform you're streaming from, you may have to show some proof of the license. That'll vary by platform, and you'll need to interact with them directly. It's unlikely there's an online way to do this.

Great Question. Since Weird Al has negotiated permission for his parodies, that means both he and Nirvana will get royalties if you do a cover RECORD that's authorized by the copyright act AND you pay the royalties required by law... (contact the Harry Fox Agency for this license and to pay these) BUT, if you want to do a cover VIDEO, you still need permission directly from the music publishing company(ies) that control the rights.

Fees vary widely. You do sort of” get what you pay for”. I’m not a fan of those online legal vending machine operations. I’d recommend using a lawyer who is directly responsible to you for getting the job done right. For a single mark in a single class of goods or services, to pay somewhere around $1500 a logo can be registered separately from the word - mark, which is what I usually recommend, since folks often change their logos more frequently than their actual brand. You don’t wanna get stuck with an abandoned mark as you’re only like to stand on if somebody is infringing The $350 government fee is payable for each class of goods, for each mark. So if registering the logo and word mark separately that would be two fees.

@@gfiremark OK I filed a mark for my name now it wants me to file a BOI AND IT WANTS ME TO CONFIRM A FEW THINGS DO I HAVE TO DO THAT THE MARK IS FOR MY RUclips CHANNEL APPRECIATE YOUR HELP

@@PoKeyWIZ who is “it?” Some legal document vending machine service? If you are an LLC or corporation, then BOI is required by 12/31/2024… Here’s a link to my video about BOI ALERT - NEW IN 2024 REPORTING LAW AFFECTS MOST BUSINESSES | What is the Corporate Transparency Act ruclips.net/video/C-tp1bM3bVk/видео.html

Sounds like straight up copyright infringement. You can get the offending ad taken down using DMCA, send a cease-and-desist letter, and sue them in federal court. I'd recommend consulting an attorney ASAP

Watch for an upcoming video about this. short answer is that you automatically own copyright in every episode you create, and registration is not required, though it IS a good idea, at least for cornerstone content.

I honestly don't know. I don't attend conventions on the specific genre True Crime. But my favorite general podcasting conventions are Podfest (podfestexpo.com) and Podcast Movement (podfestmovement.com)

Sorry about your Rat, but that doesn't mean it's OK to use other people's creative work without their permission.

@@gfiremark dont worry, i get that, i understand copyright because otherwise, the original creator wouldn't get their credit, i was just saying how difficult it is to get permission

Thanks!

Yes... you need permission for each bit of each song. Also you need permission from both publisher and record label. If they're all with the same companies, you *might* succeed in obtaining permission for the whole thing... but they'll likely expect a royalty structure of some sort. Still, it can't really hurt to ask for what you want. Sometimes the music biz folks will surprise you.

You might have better luck starting by contacting the band's management... maybe they can smooth the way for you

@@gfiremark I have actually regarding t RUclips . They didn’t seem to have a problem with it but said RUclips May monetise it . I doubt it would attract many listeners tbh. What I really wanted to do was a podcast using their official music. People have done this but are winging it hoping not to get noticed. I want to do it properly. Don’t want to invest my time and effort to be taken down in the first week.

@@gfiremark thank you

Sometimes, that complaint is a copyright strike… and too many of those can get your channel deleted…. Sometimes that complaint has a $150,000 price tag. And, it’s always good to actually follow the law, and respect other peoples’ property…

Same rules. No copying without permission unless it’s fair use. Gotta do the complicated analysis each time.

So these massive shorts channels that use all the inspiration or motivation of podcasts clips, are basically just skating the lines everytime? What im surprised is that youtube doesnt show the creative commons vs the youtube shorts upload option in the description, unless im missing something somewhere maybe? But doesn't that creative commons upload mean that its all allowed for reuse basically? Thanks for your response 👊

Sorry I've made a few spelling error on my last message covers

Well,that’s just be incorrect. Recording a cover is allowed under only certain circumstances, but distributing, performing, and making derivative works still require different permissions. It’s not whether you’re “selling”, you can be liable (or get a takedown) even if you’re giving it away for free…

That's great!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for subbing!

?

It does... it allows the podcaster to use the content of the interview in "any and all media, now known or hereafter devised"

@@gfiremark Thank you!!!

Author’s own their work. That’s where you go for permission.

depends on the podcast. some are organized as LLCs, Corporations, etc., others are partnerships or sole proprietorships. This is one of the areas we cover in Easy Legal For Podcasters (easylegalforpodcastsers.com) +

Because you're a player in the league, when you talk about the league, their website and merchandise, it's going to be pretty clear that you/they have a financial relationship. I think it makes sense to do a disclosure at the beginning and end of your episodes... and if you do an overt sales pitch, it's smart to include the disclosure right then, adjacent to the pitch. The FTC guidelines require "clear and conspicuous" disclosure... so more is better. But don't overdo it. Just say something like, "Hi, I'm Gordon, and I play for XYZ Club. Want one of these cool XYZ Club T-Shirts? Get one at XYZClub.com". It doesn't have to be 'hit 'em-over-the-head' kind of thing

​​@@gfiremark Thank you sooooo much for answering my question. Btw love the Kindle version of your book! 👍

No, because they're (usually) filming in public places... that's the whole point of what they're doing.

@@gfiremark it's a commercial issue, not a public/private one. And they are definitely violating YT privacy guidelines. Consent is needed to post.

@@markportnoy6290 I think you're mistaken about what's "commercial" in this context. The law views a "commercial use" of a person's name or likeness as when the name/likeness is used in an ad or as a part of a proposal for a transaction. The mere fact that a video is monetized or that there are ads before, during, after or alongside the video does not make its content a 'commercial'. As for YT privacy guidelines, I just went looking for anything in RUclips's guidelines about that... and didn't find it. Can you point me to the page, paragraph or section? (a link would be awesome). Thanks. If what you're saying is correct, then I have been turning away a lot of business from potential clients who want videos they appear in (filmed in public places without their consent) taken down.

@@gfiremark Commercial use refers to the monetization of a product or service. So yes, when YT channels have paying subcribers and advertisers, the product are the videos themselves and it falls under commercial use. To find the Privacy guidelines, just Google 'RUclips Community Guidelines', scroll down and click, Legal Removals, click Protecting your Identity. All privacy guidelines are explained there. Expressly stating if someone has oploaded a video of you without your consent, the removal process can begin.

Yes, provided the edition you’re reading from is not a newer, abridged, annotated, or otherwise modified edition.

It all depends on the author and publisher. But yes, it CAN be hard. Permission IS a contract, so a lawyer is a good idea to make sure you’re getting the rights you need, but it could be simple, depending on the publisher and the contract they present.

Podcastlaw.net for the waiting list…

Glad to hear!
