Jeffrey C. Jackson is an excellent attorney that I have discussing with. His office is mainly in San Diego, and I am in North Hollywood. We are mostly speaking on the phone and by email.

            My company will create a review program which will be live online on Youtube, LIvestream, and also my own website. The recorded program will also be available on Youtube, Live Stream, and on my company website.

            My concern about this production is first about the permission to video tapping someone for commercial uses. Jeffrey mention to me that I will always required a release form for them to sign. Make sure that everyone I have on the tape has signed a release form.  I found a lot of release form templates online. I will need to revise it to fit my production style.

             My second concern that I have is that during the show, I will required to mention a name, which already registered its trademark, such as Oley, Clinique, and Neutrogena. These names need permission to included in the program to use for commercial uses, as Jeff mention. From my understanding, I have to contact the company directly to have the company sign the permission. This gives me a great warning about not using any name or brand during the show without permission.

            I just realized that by becoming a commercial broadcasting company has involved in more legal matters. After 4 years in Asian Television industry in the United States, I have seen many television companies violated copyright materials. Therefore, I would like to make sure that I have all the permission to produce my programs.

            During the discussion, Jeff also mentions that the company always need to have attorney as an advisor. When it comes to commercial, the industry is taking really serious about copyright, trademark, and all entertainment law matters.

            I am working in an entertainment industry for over 4 years and I have seen many issues raised up from very tiny point of conflicts. I will try everything to establish my company as smooth as legal as possible.
