1.THE PROBLEM
You want to use the latest technology, and live streaming seems like fun, but the minute you start filming people you don't know, you're at

Periscope and Meerkat
So new and shiny!
Content goes live...
without review.
You might live stream
someone’s copyrighted content.
You might live stream
someone’s private conversation.

You might live stream
a sports game or concert (and get kicked out).
Live streaming can even be a crime
Careful where you point that smartphone camera!

For branded content, get signed release forms
