Well it's not far off topic - And one of the healthy things about this forum is that topics evolve and expand to give readers a broad perspective.pitkin2020;28075 wrote:I'm not disputing that breach of contract isn't hard to chase what I am saying is that unless its some big celebrity or the promoter has most avenues tied up its rarely chased as its rarely worth it for the average Joe.
Anyway this is off topic now and personally it doesn't effect my copyright as I don't tog stroppy over paid celebs so I don't have very many people trying to claim ownership over my copyright lol.
One of the things I often have to shake out of the minds of students is that promoters and rights holders won't bother with them because they're small fry - Fact is that as artefacts become easier to produce and distribute promoters and rights holders are becoming ever-more litigeous. And quite often 'Joe Average' is an easy target to make an example of.
And they do, I assure you, routinely utilise many different aspects of the law to secure their rights. It's not diffiuclt or expensive for them as invariably they present people with a watertight case that, being undefendable, won't get as far as the court.
There is a huge danger in things that are half-understood... I don't think these things actuall affects any serious-minded person here as this forum tends to be inhabited by people who pursue very high levels of professionalism.
Let's call it a hypothetical discussion for the benefit of those who don't dare take part in it...
