Legal Answers
- Q. Is it legal to create a service that charges for short movie clips to be used in youtube videos?
- A: Probably. More facts would be needed for an answer. The studios spend tremendous amounts of money to make the movies those clips come from. They tend to get upset when somebody takes their property for free.
There are probably legal ways to provide this service that do not involve copying of the clips. An attorney can help you explore possibilities.
- Q. What are my chances with an Incidental Fair Use Defense? and how much to Defend my rights?
- A: Based on the limited set of facts, this appears to be worth looking into. We are not allowed to seek business through the Q&A. You need to look someone up in the Justia Lawyer Directory. However, I would note that I work with LA County and Ventura County.
- Q. Does a global non-compete from a Delaware LLC stand if I start a new company in California?
- A: An answer requires more facts. Also there are ways to prevent California employees from competing without triggering the California prohibition in the appropriate scenario.
