Hello, everyone! As you've probably noticed, we've been having a few problems - I mentioned earlier that something got knocked out of balance, and we had to recalibrate, but in a few days we should be able to drop the emergency measures. Please be aware that there is an incoming storm, class four. General orders for that kind of thing are to report to management for any known threats and follow instructions, but so far what's known is "that might be a little annoying" and "hope it isn't". Theoretically it'll probably be related to the holiday, I think, because a large group of souls focused through the needle of a pin on one thing can sort of shape a thing around them.

That's sort of a really inaccurate way to put it on the technical side of things, but I think it's the easiest way to understand it! At any rate, we'll know more once we're in the thick of things. Please take care as usual; resources aren't exactly what some of you seem to think they are, and we had to expend rather more than usual in the past month or so to keep things with a few of you steady.

... I feel to some extent that is more politeness than they deserve. But I suppose it can't hurt.

... lawyers?

Well...when your parents are running a show about joking and doing gags with people on the street, you have to have a good team of lawyers to make sure everything is done by the book, you know?

They also give me a few of those as precautions for certain things I do. Like when I do some live-action segments with my bros, they need to sign up a few documents to make sure they know what they are getting into.

... Making videos is that complicated? I had assumed you just filmed if a place let you and that was that.
deathboss: (Your report sucks)

Ha ha ha...

Nah, bro. The biggest problem is that a lot of the videos we make will be making money and we want to keep everything air-tight and legit to make sure that we don't get sued. Only people who have signed wavers have their faces visible for the pranks, and we make sure to blur out everyone else and edit voices as needed. Even my friends who come over to play video games with me sign special documents giving them a certain amount of money in exchange and --

--Ahhh! Sorry. I just know a lot about the subject.

TLDR version: if you make money off of videos, you want to make sure you won't get sued for deformation of character.

... That is far more complicated that I initially expected. Then again, I suppose you need to protect anything you put out into the world - both creatively and from things like deformation of character.

It sounds complicated.
deathboss: (Haha that's funny)

[personal profile] deathboss 2018-02-08 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha that's nothing! I didn't even go into the patient gymnastic talk yet. Dad has a few inventions under his belt...just protecting those rights around the globe makes this talk look tame.

But you're definitely right, it is complicated! That's why we have lawyers.

Anyway, I don't think these videos will need copyrights since they'll only show up here...probably.

If it's done for personal use, and uploaded perhaps it will be fine?

If no one average sees anything out of the ordinary, then no one can claim that you're defaming them.

Well if they are just on this network, I can lock them up so no one else can see them unless they click on the link...

For anyone else it might not be so bad, but for me, it's just a little more dangerous. It's one of those 'you are in the business, you know the rules' kinda thing, you know? With a public eye on you,
you can't just do anything you want anymore...
