A recent court decision involved a text message that welcomed the recipient to a rewards program and asked them to reply with their email to register for free points. The court held that this text was not an "advertisement" under the TCPA because it did not urge redemption of points, direct where more information could be obtained, or reference shopping, purchasing, or a specific product.

Can Brands Use a Celebrities in Social Media Without Permission - Ad Age Mini...
This document discusses the legal issues around brands using celebrities in social media without permission. It notes that using a person's name, likeness, voice or other identifying characteristic for commercial purposes without consent is prohibited. While some minor uses may not necessarily cost money, celebrities are generally unwilling to grant free permission and negotiations take significant time. The document outlines a risk spectrum for different types of celebrity uses, noting that using pictures of celebrities or directly linking them to products are high-risk activities that could result in lawsuits. It provides some mitigation techniques but notes the risks still exist if choosing to use celebrities without permission.
How Brand Marketers Can (& Can't) Stay Legal Using Twitter's Live Streaming A...
Brands can use Twitter's live-streaming app to hold special contests, have influencers perform demos, do live Q&As with customers and tease or reveal new products, attorney Brian Heidelberger says in this video. But a new platform doesn't mean anything goes.
FTC Answers Your Questions on Endorsements and Testimonials
The FTC has elaborated on its rules on endorsements, making plain that it's not enough to just link to disclosures about paid endorsements online, to make your disclosures far from the paid action or to otherwise leave things at all unclear. Watch attorney Brian Heidelberger's brisk walk through the rules.
New FTC Action re Testimonials and Endorsements
The FTC took action against Lumos Labs for misleading advertising of testimonials from users of their Lumosity program. Lumos Labs solicited testimonials through contests with prizes without disclosing this to consumers. The FTC alleged this was misleading and enjoined Lumos Labs from misrepresenting endorsements and failing to disclose connections between endorsers and the company.
Can a Brand Ambush March Madness - Ad Age Mini Law Lesson
This document summarizes some tactics brands use for ambush marketing during sporting events like March Madness, as well as the legal risks of those tactics. It discusses avoiding use of trademarks, giving away tickets or gifts to attendees, using disclaimers, and sponsoring athletes. However, it notes that while these may avoid directly using trademarks, they do not ensure a brand is clear of risks like confusing consumers or violating a sanctioning body's policies. Sponsoring athletes in particular can result in penalties for the athlete from groups like the IOC.
How to Create Binding Terms/Rules
A new appellate court decision found that merely providing a hyperlink to terms of use near a submit button is insufficient to create binding terms. Companies must provide additional notice or prompt users to take an affirmative action to agree. The document discusses how this applies to terms of use, mobile apps, promotions, and any time binding terms are needed. It provides examples of what agreement language and placement should look like, such as a checkbox to agree or a statement directly above the submit button showing agreement to terms.

This document summarizes an eLunch presentation on advertising and privacy law. It discusses various topics including when employees need to disclose their connection to a company on social media, requirements for sweepstakes entries on social media, guidelines for real-time marketing interactions, obtaining consent for mobile data collection and text messages, and standards for substantiating product performance claims. Specific cases and FTC guidance are referenced throughout to provide examples and context around these legal issues.
The Monkey Selfie and Basics of Copyright Ownership
This document discusses the legal issue of who owns the copyright to a "monkey selfie" photograph taken by a crested macaque using a camera. It was presented as a mini law lesson by Brian Heidelberger, an attorney at the law firm Winston & Strawn LLP, and includes his contact information as well as a disclaimer that it does not constitute legal advice. The document also provides links to follow Brian Heidelberger on social media and view additional mini law lessons on YouTube.
How the FTC Wants You to Change Your Shopping App to be Legal
The document summarizes concerns from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) about shopping apps that offer price comparison, deals collection, payment processing, or other shopping functions. The FTC found that many apps did not provide sufficient pre-download information about how payment disputes would be handled or how consumer data would be collected and shared. The FTC also noted that privacy policies for these apps often used vague language without clearly explaining what data is collected and how it will be used or shared with third parties. Apps were advised to more clearly disclose data practices and security measures to consumers.
FTC Sends Warning Letters to Major Advertisers Re Disclosure
The FTC sent warning letters to over 60 advertisers for failing to adequately disclose material information in their television and print ads. The FTC will now monitor these advertisers and the industry overall to ensure compliance with disclosure requirements. Advertisers are advised to review their ads to make sure any material terms or conditions are clear and conspicuous to consumers. The letters provided tailored feedback to individual advertisers but were not made public. Advertisers should ensure disclosures are in close proximity to related claims, are prominent through easy to read font and sufficient screen time, and are presented understandably rather than through hard to read block text legal jargon.
Refresher on Use of Testimonials and Endorsements in Social media
This document summarizes FTC guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials. It discusses how the FTC requires disclosure of material connections between an endorser and an advertiser, such as payments or free products. The FTC has taken action against companies for failing to disclose such connections or for creating fake endorsements. Proper disclosure is needed to avoid misleading consumers. Disclosures must be clear, conspicuous, and in the same message as the endorsement to comply with FTC guidelines.
Are You Prepared For a Data Breach
This document provides an overview of data security best practices for companies. It discusses who is responsible for most data breaches (outsiders and state-affiliated actors), how they carry out breaches (hacking, stolen credentials, malware, social attacks), and common tools used (trojans, botnets, phishing, drive-by infections, backdoors, keyloggers). It recommends that companies assess their current data security by mapping data, conducting audits, and evaluating legal compliance. It also advises implementing changes such as limiting data collection and access, using robust passwords, secure disposal policies, training, and audits. Companies should modify practices to comply with relevant laws and create breach response plans to investigate and notify consumers
What golideblox v. beastie boys taught us about copyright parody and advertising
This document summarizes a legal case involving Goldieblox and the Beastie Boys and discusses fair use laws regarding use of copyrighted works in advertisements. It outlines that for use of another's work to be considered fair use, it must transform the original work and be for purposes of criticism or commentary rather than just for attention. Commercial uses weigh against fair use, but can be allowed if sufficiently transformative. The document analyzes similar court cases and concludes that ads face an uphill battle in claiming fair use and most companies would not want the publicity of a legal battle, as defending fair use can be expensive even if the use is legally right.
How brands can use hashtags without getting sued
This document provides a mini law lesson on how brands can use hashtags without risking trademark infringement or other legal issues. It discusses that while hashtags are not entirely fair game, joining ongoing conversations with hashtags is generally lower risk than using them to promote products. The key is to avoid suggesting the trademark owner's endorsement and to mitigate risks by not using registered marks if possible, limiting use over time, and being part of the general conversation rather than standing out. Only one lawsuit over hashtags is reported so far.
California's New Privacy Policy Guidelines
California Attorney General Kamala Harris has released a 28-page document called "Making Your Privacy Practices Public" that encourages sites to more prominently explain how they use personally identifiable data and whether they honor Do Not Track signals from consumers' browsers. The document doesn't have the force of law, but you need to know it all the same.
New Pinterest Contest Guidelines Make it Into Terms of Service
Pinterest has updated its guidelines for contests to avoid spam. The new rules prohibit contests that suggest Pinterest sponsors or endorses them, require users to pin from a selection or pin the contest rules, run sweepstakes where pins/likes are entries, encourage spammy behavior like asking for comments, ask users to vote with pins/likes, or require a minimum number of pins. The goal is to prevent contests that motivate irrelevant or spammy pins rather than pins users are truly interested in.
New Text Message Rules - Get Your Text Message House in Order
This document provides a mini law lesson about new FCC regulations requiring express written consent to send marketing text messages beginning October 16. Specifically, it summarizes that marketers will now need signed consent to send marketing texts and must disclose that consent is not required for purchase. It also outlines the issues around future text message registrations and current databases marketers need to address to comply with the new FCC rules.
Facebook Changes Its Promotion Guidelines - MIni Law Lesson
Facebook has changed its guidelines for promotions to now allow them to be administered directly on brand page timelines. Specifically, promotions can now collect entries from users posting or commenting on a page post or messaging the page directly. Some previous requirements like disclosing that information is being provided to the sponsor and not Facebook, and that winners can't be notified through Facebook messages or posts, have been removed. However, promotions can still be run through apps and people can't enter by liking, sharing, or posting on their personal timelines. Rules around releasing Facebook from liability and noting the promotion is not sponsored by Facebook still apply.
How to Avoid Patent Trolls - Mini Law Lesson
This document provides information on how advertising agencies and advertisers can protect themselves from patent trolls. It discusses what patent trolls are and how they take advantage of the system by asserting vague patents and targeting common digital technologies. The document recommends that agencies factor patent litigation risks into project pricing, design flexible software, and watch for patent claims. It also suggests advertisers take on more liability but set maximum caps and minimum thresholds on agency liability. Both parties could collaborate by sharing risk, taking legislative action, and challenging patents proactively.

Not everything you find on the internet is public domain, even if it's labeled as such, attorney Brian Heidelberger warns. Virgin Mobile found that out the hard way.
Basics of Screen Actors Guild Commercials Contract and How it Applies to New ...
This document provides a mini law lesson on whether videos created for platforms like YouTube, Facebook, or Vine have to comply with the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) commercials contract. It explains that the SAG commercials contract only applies to videos that meet the definition of a "commercial," which is a video 3 minutes or less that promotes a product or service. Even then, it only applies if the advertiser or agency that produced the video is a SAG signatory. If the SAG commercials contract does apply, principal performers must be paid SAG minimum wages, but SAG or non-SAG talent can be hired. Penalties may apply for non-compliance with the contract. If the contract does not
Brands Using Apps - What You Legally Need to Know - Ad Age Mini Law Lesson
The document summarizes key regulatory issues related to mobile apps, including:
1) State attorneys general suing app makers for privacy violations and requiring privacy policies;

3) Recommendations for developing apps, including disclosing data collection and use, and obtaining consent.
Brands on Pinterest - What You Legally Need to Know - Ad Age Mini Law Lesson

1) Businesses must agree to Pinterest's terms and conditions when setting up a business account or converting a personal account, granting Pinterest rights to use their content.
2) Brands can verify their Pinterest page with a badge to help users identify their official page.
3) Brand logos and badges must be used as specified in Pinterest's brand guidelines to maintain proper sizing, spacing, and context.
4) Contests on Pinterest should encourage authentic engagement rather than spam-like behaviors like repetitive commenting or voting.
Brands on Facebook What You Legally Need to Know - Ad Age Mini Law Lesson
This document provides a summary of Facebook's policies regarding brands and promotions on Facebook. It outlines what brands can and cannot do in several areas:
1) Terms governing brand pages, cover photos, promotions, personal information collection, offers, referral rewards, and places/like incentives.
2) Referencing Facebook in advertising and use of Facebook logos/marks is also addressed.
3) Specific guidelines are given around use of screenshots in advertising and sponsored stories. The document aims to help brands understand and comply with Facebook's policies.
Brands on Twitter's Vine - What You Legally Need to Know - Ad Age Mini Law Le...
Brands can use Vine to post short 6-second looping videos to promote their brand. However, they must be careful of legal issues such as: 1) obtaining permission before using third-party content or people's images in videos, 2) ensuring any advertising claims can be substantiated, and 3) using celebrities, competitors, or their content could increase legal risks. Vine contests also require legal consideration around terms, screening entries, and required disclosures. Marketers should consult their legal department before engaging in riskier Vine strategies.
How to Handle a Cease and Desist - Ad Age Mini Law Lesson
This document provides a 10 step guide for handling a cease and desist letter. It begins by advising not to freak out as most do not result in lawsuits. It then recommends getting organized, determining how serious the situation is based on who sent it and their motivations, evaluating potential damages and costs, implications for business, and who is ultimately responsible. Finally, it discusses deciding how to respond by ignoring, calling, writing back, or agreeing, and realizing lawyers can't always prevent lawsuits.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentation
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.
