Speaker 1: lowest levels ever recorded, and over one hundred thousand illegal

Speaker 3: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

20
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 4: You have to have a couple of skill sets. At

21
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 4: the core. You're a business attorney. You should be like

22
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 4: a strategist.

23
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 5: You but we need to be problem solvers, fixers because

24
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 5: at one time I may be touching what I do.

25
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 5: I'll talk about what I do is negotiating the deals

26
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 5: as you mentioned with shot like strategize and advocating, but

27
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 5: you are making sure the brand is protected, copyrights, trademarks.

28
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 5: It could be you know, if somebody's coming to your

29
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 5: clients with an investment. If I don't do it, it's

30
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 5: finding a network of corporate attorneys who.

31
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 4: May do that. So I'll call it a dot connector.

32
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 4: You're really a dot connector.

33
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 5: You handle your piece of the pie, which in my

34
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 5: case is negotiating, reviewing agreements, redline and marking up and

35
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 5: then you know, making sure the client's covered on all

36
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 5: of the facets.

37
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 4: If you don't do if somebody in your network needs

38
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 4: to do.

39
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 6: Is it different from like music, film, television.

40
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 4: Yes, so they're different.

41
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 5: Siloed So, I started as a music lawyer, so I

42
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 5: know everything about very random fact about me. I used

43
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 5: to co own a music publishing company, so I know

44
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 5: a lot about music publishing. So it starts for me.

45
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 5: I cut my teeth in music. My internship was a

46
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 5: music law So yeah, it's music, fashion, film, and TV

47
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 5: visual arts. So there are various you know, silos in

48
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 5: it between oh, the nuance and sort of the deals,

49
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 5: the deal terms and ask that you're gonna ask because

50
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 5: what I'm going to ask for music has nothing to

51
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 5: do in film and television. So when somebody's saying and

52
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 5: snow dissed other people, they're saying, entertainment is exactly what

53
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 5: you say, which sort of leg or arm like you'll

54
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 5: grow with your clients. I've been able to grow with

55
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 5: you on a massive ways and it takes you into

56
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 5: other silos. But at the core, it's always good for

57
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 5: an entertainment attorney to start in like one as I

58
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 5: keep on calling them silos, because you have to know

59
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 5: that back and forth. You have to know like music,

60
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 5: I need I'll know certain triggers. In terms of somebody's saying,

61
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 5: what does a producer need to get Okay, you need

62
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 5: to get your front end back in. You need your

63
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 5: producer fee, right, so that's one percentage of revenue. Then

64
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 5: you need your producer advance or upfront fee. You need

65
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 5: your producer royalty rate, you need your back in on publishing,

66
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 5: you need your sound exchange.

67
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 4: I just mentioned four revenue stream.

68
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, if somebody doesn't know that you're missing out, you

69
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 5: leaving money on the table for your client.

70
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, I always like when you get the red line,

71
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 7: I want to talk about that, because whenever a contract

72
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 7: comes to you, there's a red line version that comes back.

73
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 7: I always wander at the time that goes into doing that.

74
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 7: And one of the key things that you're looking at,

75
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 7: Like I know, like when we talk all the time,

76
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 7: it's like the first thing we're looking for is perpetuity.

77
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: If it's in there, So.

78
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 7: Are there other terms that you know before? Like if

79
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 7: I see that in there, we have to have a conversation.

80
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 5: Oh absolutely, it's perpetuity, like you said, Troy, Yeah, we

81
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 5: don't like that word.

82
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 4: It's like a cursory to us.

83
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 5: And again, let me give the caveat the only time

84
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 5: perpetuity is fine is if the price point could match

85
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 5: in a line and it's something that we feel like

86
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 5: is negotiable. So I want to give that disclaimer in

87
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 5: rare cases for people, and it may be something it

88
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 5: Let me give an example. If it's a SoundBite of

89
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 5: a song somebody wants to use for thirty seconds, they

90
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 5: want it a perpetuity, they pay an applicable price to

91
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 5: use it, and we narrow down the territory. Maybe that

92
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 5: works for one client, but work for the next. So

93
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 5: that's why I always i'm hands on with you all

94
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 5: to be like, what do you want out of this?

95
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 5: But I know in our case, for my guys, we

96
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 5: don't like that word.

97
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 4: So because earners, what's up?

98
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 7: You ever walk into a small business and everything just

99
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 7: works like, the checkout is fast, the receipts are digital,

100
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 7: tipping is a breeze, and you're out the door before

Speaker 5: are very important because we know that could be held up.

160
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 5: Companies mean well, but they have their net ninety, they

161
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 5: have NET forty five, you know, so when you get

162
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 5: paid is very important. Services requirements, duties required of the person.

163
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 5: So you may be like I, they may be asking

164
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 5: for too much or I'm cool with that, but just

165
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 5: knowing up front what is expected of you is important.

166
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 4: I'm trying to think.

167
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 5: Of course, everything's important you all again disclaimer, but the

168
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 5: major terms, those are things just initially so that when

169
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 5: I have calls with you all is busy as you are,

170
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 5: I have to say, here's what we're going to streamline.

171
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 5: Here are the focal points, and then we attack some.

172
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 6: Of those intellectual property significant as of entertainment law. So

173
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 6: can you talk about intellectual property and can you provide

174
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 6: some examples where you've helped your clients protect their intellectual

175
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 6: property rights?

176
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 5: Yes, like you said, intellectual property or if you hear people,

177
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 5: you hear them say IP a lot. That is incredibly important.

178
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 5: It's important for everyone, But specifically I'm very passionate abou

179
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 5: our community as a black community, knowing that because that's

180
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 5: often the first thing that's taken away from us. So

181
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 5: it's a matter of what you create. And I just

182
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 5: want to also say something. When you create something in

183
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 5: the United States, copyright law and trademark law. The minute

184
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 5: you create, you write a poem, you write song lyrics,

185
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 5: there's a copyright. What you want to do is go

186
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 5: and take it added layer to it protection and you

187
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 5: go to the US Copyright Office, So www dot copyright

188
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 5: dot GUV. I tell people, go learn that skill set

189
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 5: by yourself, because I get it. When you're coming up,

190
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 5: there may not be budgets and fees for lawyers. Go

191
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 5: learn how to do some things by yourself. So go there,

192
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 5: learn how to folow a copyright. So not the most

193
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 5: exciting thing to learn. The process was once you get it,

194
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 5: you'll do it. Then you want to see, Okay, do

195
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 5: I have it what's called a source identify or brand name.

196
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 5: That's a trademark. Do I have something that people are

197
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 5: starting to know me by right? Trademark that and I can.

198
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 4: Use you all for you. I don't mind using you

199
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 4: all as example. It's clients, Sure, earn your leisure.

200
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 5: We are sitting here because this is a federally protected trademark.

201
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 5: That is what you do before things get big. You

204
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 5: you all of the company that you all have and companies.

205
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, it's protected. That's the best way to do it.

206
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 5: So whether you get the trademark attorney to do it,

207
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 5: whether you do it on your own, just make sure

208
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 5: it's protected before you walk into these business stills you all,

209
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,400

00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 5: go buy that back or negotiate how to get it back,

211
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 5: and of course the price is much higher than it

212
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 5: would have been before the star started to rise.
