Re: Kansas firm sells candid Wal-Mart videos
by Ron Lindeboom on Apr 10, 2008 at 7:35:24 pm

[Mark Suszko] "...they forgot who actually owned the footage. He owns it, and it has value. The only real issue from a legal standpoint is how much he can get for it and from whom."

This is an assumption that may or may not hold up in court. There are many precedents and legal barbs on which Mr. Flagler's claims could be impaled.

Me, I think it is far from assured that he owns this footage.

I will guarantee that the Wal-Mart lawyers will be sifting through every document, contract and anything else that is related to this -- documents that none of us are now privy to.

There are also many things that can be argued in the name of "trade custom and tradition" when videotaping corporate board meetings. There are also arguments and implied covenants, etc., that I believe will find a court likely unwilling to castrate a major corporation's right to expected privacy of its board meetings, etc.

I don't believe for a minute that this is a clear case of ownership by the one holding the camera. But the courts will decide that and when there are armies of lawyers involved, it be be a while before it all becomes crystal clear.

Best regards,

Ron Lindeboom
