Official Disclaimer – Although a brilliant lawyer sounded off on these topics, until you pay a lawyer a retainer they are not offering you legal advice. This webcast was merely people sitting and talking about interesting legal topics in publishing and content.

Unofficial advice would be “Always read your contracts before you sign them.”
