Thread Name: Ethics in archiving?
Subject: RE: Ethics in archiving?
So the home videos I have of my daughters singing with school choirs and in university recitals that I am currently putting on to DVD and plan to send copies out to my family and some of their friends.

What happens if some of those kids are now professional paid singers/musicians one of them approaching famous. Could I be sued for doing this? I am just thinking about the lame shows that have clips of actors before they were famous. Where did those clips come from? Did someone have to get permission to release them/ Did they sell them?

It is all very worrying.
