Copyright Caveats

After posting links to Creative Cow's coverage of Copyright and Fair Use, one of the active participants in a discussion group I'm part of posted anther great series of articles on copyright issues faced by those of us making media. The DV Info Net community is known for great material and this five part series is no exception. It answers questions about all the headaches faced when recording material in public places, like what the potential consequences are for background music getting picked up by your DV cams microphone (you won't like the answer). Like the articles from Creative Cow, the DV Info series is not written by a lawyer. However, the topics are covered in a balanced fashion and make for good guidelines in proceeding to make recordings for either audio or video.
