I'll be speaking at Podcast Academy #6 taking place the day before the Podcast & New Media Expo. It's on September 27 and you can find out more about speakers, topics, and registration here.
I've been thinking a lot about the presentation and plan to cover the top 5-10 (depending on time) "train wrecks" I see among the legal questions that podcasters face.
(And a thank you to Tim Street for suggesting this theme.) Of course the train wrecks will involve copyright, but many other issues also run new media entrepreneurs off the rails: publicity rights, trademark and domain name confusion, news reporting and fair use questions, risk management issues to name just a few.
If you have a "train wreck" story that haunts your past and you think others would benefit from learning about it (I'll treat your stories anonymously, if you'd prefer), please let me know and I'll find a way to fit the best ones into my presentation. You can email your story to me at colette@vogelelaw.com or skype me (colettevogele).
