[QuadList] Copyright Issues

[C. Park Seward]

When doing a reality show, we have to be careful not to use ANY music  
that might be picked up unintentional by a mic. No radio, speakers in  
a restaurant, someone humming, whistling or singing, playing an  
instrument or any other reproduction of a song. We even black out any  
images of logos or photos, artwork, cartoons, drawings or even  
graffiti. It may be copyrighted!!!

I heard that some building owners may want a fee if their building is  
seen in any TV or motion picture. The design is copyrighted, ya know!

Best,
Park
