YES YOU CAN PLAY THIS PODCAST FOR YOUR REAL ESTATE TEAM.  

In this episode of Vondran Legal Hour, Attorney Steve® discusses the 10 most important tips that real estate agents and brokers should know when it comes to copyight law and using creative content of third parties on company and agent blogs, podcasts, videos and other social media including facebook, twitter and instagram.

Topics discussed include:

  1.   Use of paid stock photos and videos
  2.   Dealing with infringement demand letters from companies such as PicRights or Higbee & Associates 
  3.   Reverse image finder tools such as Tineye or Google reverse image search
  4.   Typical settlement demands
  5.   Vicarious liability - (brokers being sued for "vicarious" copyright infringement)
  6.  Copyright Small Claims court is coming (up to $30,000 in damages).  

Many companies are out scouring the web looking for infringing copies of their photos, drone video, aerial photos, music (ex. in your listing videos), and other creative copyright protected content.  When the demand letters come, or the federal court lawsuit, it's not fun.  Share this podcast with as many people as possible - whether in the real estate industry or other industry.  If you need help with a legal issue, call us at (877) 276-5084 - internet law, social media disputes, real estate trademarks, DMCA takdown notices and general copyright infringement issues.
