Legal Question in Business Law in Colorado

The Use Of and Resale Of Music Videos

I am interested in starting a internet based business involving the resale of music videos. How do I go about legally obtaining the rights to use the videos for resale purposes? This business could extend beyond just the state of Colorado, so I do not know if Co. law would be the only laws applicable. And how do I go about finding a reputable attorney to assist me in this the possibility of this endeavor?

Dear LawGuru user:

In order to resell the videos, you will need permission from the copyright holder. This means whomever owns the copyright must be contacted. An agreement regarding resale which sets forth any royalties or other compensation, and any restrictions on use of existing copyrights or trademarks will need to be negotiated and signed by you and the copyright holder.

I believe that you will need an attorney, and I invite you to visit my web site, where there is a link to an outline I wrote on Trademark and Copyright Basics. I would be happy to work with you.

Thank you for using LawGuru.

Sincerely,

Louise Aron
