So, you have to CYA and put things in a bulletproof context -- it's a risk assessment -- what is there to gain? The PDF is interesting though. There are a lot of IT questions answered so it was worth the searching -- I saved the PDF as relevant with citations to refer to -- I did get something of value out of this. |
It pays lawyers to frighten you about the consequences of your actions--even if there's little chance of the shit hitting the fan. My own lawyer counseled me many years ago on risk assessment and I took his advice. For one thing, most of the companies I shoot for demand a Work for Hire agreement, so they own the copyrights on the images so what the fuck do I care? As for the others, if Louis Vuitton or similar sued me I'd probably just welcome the free advertising.
