Right of Publicity – Most Overlooked Legal Issue with Online Video

While trademark and copyright has typically made up most of the discussion of legal issues around online marketing and video for business, many companies today are still completely unaware of another equally important issue – controlling your image and likeness in any video by someone else for whatever purpose .

Greg Jarboe – IP Extremism vs Fair Use with Online Video

At SES San Jose 2009, I spoke with Greg Jarboe, President and Co-Founder of SEO-PR, about some common legal questions and issues with regard to online video.  Greg talks about “IP extremism” – the increase of attorneys’ knee-jerk legal reactions – including cease-and-desist orders and sometimes lawsuits –to seeing any instance of their client’s owned video content being up on YouTube and everywhere on the web by others even if those uses clearly fall under legally protected fair use guidelines.

Video and Social Marketing Reach a Groundswell

One of the highlights of the day-long track on Social Media & Video Strategies held in conjunction with Search Engine Strategies conference in San Jose, was a presentation by industry leader Nate Elliott, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research on the Groundswell, a book based on analysis by Forrester Research on how they look at social marketing. All too often marketers launch a Facebook, Twitter or YouTube account without a social media strategy which according to Forrester is a backwards approach.
