[QUOTE="David Buckley, post: 73296, member: 2235"] Re: Video feed- permission/credit/fees The answers are, or course, it's complicated, it's hard, and depends. Almost entirely on contractual arrangements between the parties. The copyright legislation provides protections against copyright infringement, but don't decide who gets paid what out of the spoils. So for a magician doing a show at a venue that is recorded professionally for sale, assuming that the material is entirely created by the magician himself, then he holds the copyright, and he is entitled to all the royalties of the distributed DVDs. However, his contract with the promoter may alter or waive that right. The venue may have wording in its contract with the promoter that enables them to be paid something, maybe a flat fee, maybe points from the royalty. Or there may not be a promoter. As Tim has noted, the venue may have an arrangement with the workforce so the benefits trickle down. What the OP as the sound man gets paid (assuming there isn't a Union arrangement in place) for providing a video feed depends on what is in his/her contract. No written contract? Not a good place to start from then... [/QUOTE]
