Show Notes

In this segment of "Intellectual Property News" on Passage to Profit, we dive into a headline-grabbing clash between Netflix and a small content creator over a crucial interview featured in a Gilgo Beach murders documentary. Was Netflix entitled to use the footage under fair use, or did they cross the legal line by skipping permission and payment? Our panel unpacks the legal, ethical, and entrepreneurial angles of this case—raising big questions about copyright, creators’ rights, and whether lawsuits can be an opportunity instead of a setback. 

 

Richard Gearhart and Elizabeth Gearhart, co-hosts of Passage to Profit Show have this discussion with leadership and scaling coach Kenny Lange, Jen Rafferty from Empowered Educator and Whitney Dueñas Richardson from Global Sprouts.
