Choosing an attorney is a serious matter and should not be based solely on information contained on the Site or in advertisements, and the engagement of counsel may not be accomplished by sending WAM Entertainment Law confidential information related to you and/or your company unless WAM Entertainment Law has expressly authorized the submission of such information by written authorization.

Electronic Communications for Prospective or Non-Clients: We do want to hear from you, and you may send us an e-mail. However, if you communicate with us in connection with a matter for which we do not already represent you and unless you are already a client and have completed the engagement letter process, no attorney-client privilege exists and you should not send us any confidential or sensitive information via e-mail or otherwise because your communication will not be treated as privileged or confidential.

Electronic Communications from Existing Clients: If you communicate with us by e-mail in connection with a matter for which we already represent you, you should note that the security of Internet e-mail is uncertain. Always exercise discretion before sending sensitive or confidential information by e-mail. By sending sensitive or confidential e-mail messages that are not encrypted, you accept the risks of such uncertainty and possible lack of confidentiality over the Internet.

WAM Entertainment Law owes strict duties of confidentiality to its clients. These obligations are set out in various legal, regulatory, or other professional rules and are reflected in our terms of business and engagement documentation entered into with each client.

To the extent this Site may include statements that could be construed as testimonials or endorsements, no such statements are intended to constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of any particular legal matter.

WAM Entertainment Law reserves the right to disable and/or remove access to the Site for users who are repeat infringers. If you believe that your copyright work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please submit a DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement that includes the following information:

• Identification of the copyrighted work claims to have been infringed, or, if multiple works, a representative list of such works.
• Identification of the infringing material or link you claim is infringing and a description of where the infringing work is located on the Site.
• The name and contact information for the copyright owner or authorized agent including your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, email address.
• Inclusion of both of the following statements in your Notice:
  • “I hereby state that I have a good-faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent , or the law (e.g., fair use).”
  • “I hereby state that the information in this Notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright of the work claiming to be infringed.”
• Provide your full legal name and ensure the Notice is signed (physically or digitally) by the copyright owner or an authorized agent of the copyright owner.

Before filing such a notification, make a careful determination as to whether or not the use of the material at issue is or may be protected by the “fair use” doctrine. You could potentially be held liable for costs and attorneys’ fees should you file a takedown notice where there is no infringing use. If you are unsure whether there is infringement, it may be advisable to seek legal counsel.
