adequate legal disclaimer

Postby hephaestus » May 30th, 2008, 6:34 pm

Any one know an adequate legal disclaimer to use with potential listeners of hypno - trance audio tracks.

In this age it kind of feels like a good idea

I hold no responsibility for your actions whatsoever.It is your brain doing everything,not mine.It is a choice you have made.If i said to someone " i think it would be a good idea for you to jump in front of that train" and they did.Would i be charged with murder?

I know this would stand up in court no more than a top heavy elephant with one leg, but i just thought i would say it.

Thanks guys - like you say googling's a good idea - have done so and found so far nothing specific to this. BUT what I will do is hunt out some officially commercially released audio and see what they say.

I'll drop that back here too because I guess its probably something we all need if we're releasing our own creations on the world, isn't it. :D

Mind you when I do that I'll probably have to give my own personal disclaimer of the disclaimer LOL what a crazy world we live in where personal responsibility it seems is so easy to side line to make a claim.

I believe I have a legal book that describes and displays sample legal agreements for tists. I'll see if I can dig it up, I have it lying around in my HDD somewhere. I'll post again when I have it uploaded.

Sorry to say, you can't remove the ability to sue. What a disclaimer, any disclaimer or waiver of liability do is provide what is called "informed consent". That means, you knew what you were getting into ahead of time and decided to do it anyway. That puts the burden of proof of negligence onto the end user and to prove that you did something that you did not say you would do in the waiver. Still, you can be sued, but this goes a long long way in the court to getting it dismissed as frivolous and improper. A waiver or disclaimer is not 100% protection, but it does go a long way. There are indeed, tons of legal resources on the web for free to help you come up with what you need.
