Content Production, Compliance & Legal Protection
At Silverstein Legal, we provide specialized legal counsel for professionals and businesses involved in content production — from independent creators and studios to digital platforms and distributors. In today’s media-rich landscape, producing and publishing content comes with a complex set of legal obligations, particularly in high-risk or regulated industries such as adult entertainment, influencer marketing, film, music, and user-generated platforms.
We help clients navigate the full legal lifecycle of content creation, including:
- Content rights and intellectual property protection
- Talent agreements, model releases, and production contracts
- DMCA takedown enforcement and copyright registration
- Right of publicity and privacy issues, especially involving real people and likenesses
- Platform and distributor compliance, including community guidelines, age gating, and moderation policies
- Obscenity, indecency, and recordkeeping laws (e.g., 18 U.S.C. § 2257 for adult content)
- Licensing and syndication agreements for global content distribution
As governments and platforms crack down on unlicensed, unverified, or non-compliant content, legal exposure can escalate quickly — from takedowns and demonetization to lawsuits, fines, or criminal charges. Whether you’re creating scripted media, live-streaming, distributing user-generated content, or operating a content platform, we help you stay compliant, protected, and in control of your intellectual property.
We also offer litigation and defense services for creators and companies facing claims related to copyright infringement, defamation, privacy violations, or platform bans.
Whether you’re a solo creator, production company, or tech platform, Silverstein Legal is your legal advocate — empowering content producers with the tools to create confidently and operate securely.
