Does anyone know where I can find entertainment and other laws for the internet. I just started my website which posts video clips of bands. I am not sure how to find out about rights issues. I own all of the video, but I am having trouble finding legal info.
I know some of the questions aren't related to the internet, more related to record labels and such. I'm just trying to find a website that lists all of the do's and don'ts for websites, as far as legal issues go.
Thanks for the advice.
 
The do's and don'ts really won't necessarily be any different than for any other medium.

You may own the "video," but have the bands signed off on you using there image (the video) in a public medium (on your website)?

If they are playing music, is it THEIR original music or previously recorded stuff. If its not their own music, that they agreed to let you use, you may run into copyright issues relating to the copyright holder of the music they are playing the video.
