b'
Today we are going to discuss the OWN\\u2019s network series, Love Is and how creatives can protect themselves when they are pitching their ideas to third parties.
\\nAfter being renewed for a second season, the show was abruptly cancelled amid allegations of domestic violence and copyright infringement from one of the show\\u2019s creators. Our focus today is on the copyright infringement allegations.
\\nOne of our amazing listeners posed the following question: is cancellation of the show the best option for a network to cover themselves while one of their show producers and creators is being sued for possible intellectual theft?
\\nTop Three Takeaways
\\n1. Copyrights protect the execution of ideas not the ideas themselves.
\\n2. Don\\u2019t trust people with your work especially if you haven\\u2019t protected it through copyright registration
\\n3. Non Disclosure Agreements can protect your ideas that haven\\u2019t been executed. Meaning if you have an idea for a script but haven\\u2019t written it, this written contract can protect it. If the other party will sign it.
