Clips4Sale Legal Zone Series #9: Speech – Emojis, Inline Linking, Memes, California AB5, and a Federal Judge’s Uber Decision
Clips4Sale is excited to bring you another installment of “The Clips4Sale Legal Zone, with Neil and attorney Corey D. Silverstein” – from Monday, January 6th at 4:00 pm EST. We also welcomed back special guest attorney Lawrence Walters.
Neil is the founder and leader of Clips4Sale, the industry’s most long-standing and successful space to sell clips online. Corey is the industry’s premiere IT attorney, representing community members from all corners of the space. Together, they will break down relevant legal issues shaping the adult industry – and your business – today, with a live Q&A occurring throughout!
During the January 6th, episode, Corey and Neil discussed issues related to speech including emoji use, inline linking (commonly referred to as “embedding”), and memes. What can you do? And what can you most definitely not?
Also, we revisited AB5, the California law that mandates employee classification for many workers who were previously thought to be independent contractors. What new developments have occurred? How are companies inside and outside the state dealing with the law? What will happen to services that are strictly sales platforms, as well as to “multi-function” platforms that support an array of services? Further, a federal judge has already refused to make Uber reclassify drivers as employees in California – how will this refusal impact industry workers?
