the questions
1. How would an artist really go about enforcing a contractual clause and what action can i take if violation are made?
2. Are there any terms that specifically could limit an actor's future work?
3. And if so how can we work around that?
4. A character in a film is reading a novel by a famous author. Do I need to get clearances for this and what if i don't?
5. Do non-union actors have the right to ask for more payment if the project will end up being in many more mediums than originally expected? (i.e.: the post said industrial but the paper work says industrial, print, web, etc.)
6. I made a film whilst at film school. It was not part of my course but I did use the school facilities. Does this mean they own the copyright?
7. I have used a brand logo in my film but have disguised it by calling the company a different name (a pun on their name). The design is otherwise identical though. Does this count as a breach of copyright? and can it still be a breach if the logo even after a change is still implying negativity of a well known business.
8. Who can claim copyright to my project after turned into a popular film? (author and work made for hire)
10. What must a producer provide to SAG and who would most directly benefit?
I liked these questions, or better i found them interesting. There were a lot of words, like SAG, that i don't know what they mean in the eyes of a lawyer. And of course i also found that all the questions above are issues that i can be faced with.

melon issue
Having your identity stolen is a crime. Having your label
stolen and then killing not only 125 years of reputation but 33 people is a
legal crime, but how do go fixing an issue with the thief when the thief has
been found dead. This was the situation when a company that manufactured melons
was hijacked of label and then sickened many to the point of death. Later going
bankrupt, leaving the rocky Colorado farm with no way to bring justice. In my
opinion they can still sue the other company but that will do nothing to lost
revenue from the destruction of reputation across the states. Bringing them to
court will not only hurt them in the usage of already low income but what can they
do really. Maybe in a certain way they can have the other company openly admit
to the crime and clear up a portion if not more of the doubt set into the minds
of buyers toward the Colorado melon farm label. They can as always start spreading their
product little by little to the surrounding area and by the word of mouth have
people share their experience with the authenticated product that has been re established .
