i.e.,</em> to create original music. It’s as simple as that. There are only so many keys, chords, and options with respect to music, but as a producer, you’ll want to ensure that if you’re hiring someone to create music, that they’re not copying from other people; that they’re creating original work that’s based on some form of skill and judgment, it’s original to them or the people you’re hiring collectively, and it’s not copying other works.</p>\n<p>If a producer receives notice from another lawyer or artist or manager that the music in that person’s production infringes upon another person’s rights, they should contact their lawyer, and the lawyer should quickly thereafter contact the film insurance broker. <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/102480/eo-insurance-for-film-and-tv-the-value-of-a-lawyer\" rel=\"noopener\">The lawyer’s role</a> would be to review the situation, see if it’s frivolous or legitimate<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">; e.g.,</span> it may be that there was a creative collaborator and we thought that there was an agreement with this person but there wasn’t, there may have been an unsigned <a href=\"/articles/does-eo-insurance-protect-against-claims-of-breach-of-contract\" rel=\"noopener\">contract</a>, <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">etc. </span>These things should have been figured out when the lawyer was doing their due diligence earlier but it’s possible that something fell through the cracks.</p>\n<p>Or someone may have just heard something in a movie and feels like something they created in their basement <a href=\"/articles/blurring-the-lines-of-music-infringement-law-three-perspectives-in-one\" rel=\"noopener\">sounds similar</a>. There’s a variety of different possible claims that someone might make and the film producer should contact their lawyer immediately. Be upfront about the specific circumstances. Does the producer have a relationship with this person? Tell the lawyer everything and the lawyer will review it to determine if the demand is reasonable or not and what we’re collectively going to do about it.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&amp;O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/bid/103438/e-o-acquire-proper-permission\" rel=\"noopener\">How can a film producer obtain permission to use content protected by copyright?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/102723/e-o-insurance-how-much-of-your-productions-format-is-copyright-able\" rel=\"noopener\">How much of your production’s format is “copyrightable”?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer’s E&amp;O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><strong>eBook</strong>: <a href=\"/errors-omissions-insurance-101\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer's E&amp;O insurance 101</a></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">YouTube</span>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Errors and omissions insurance (E&amp;O) – Byron Pascoe</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

because it really comes down to: the risk is tied to the exposure. If five people see a movie, the risk is low; if 10 million people see a movie, the risk is high. Something could be on YouTube but only have 500 views and perhaps 500 people have seen it; the risk is fairly low. Regardless of the method of distribution, it’s really about the volume of people who have seen it.</p>\n<p>If someone has been wronged or their intellectual property (IP) rights have been <a href=\"/articles/how-can-you-make-a-film-like-the-social-network-without-getting-permission-from-mark-zuckerberg\" rel=\"noopener\">used in the production without their permission</a>, they will only contemplate a claim if they know about it, so it’s a question of visibility and exposure.</p>\n<p>With respect to an online platform that is easy to self-upload, self-distribute, such as YouTube, there are other remedies one could take that would not be available otherwise. <em>E.g.,</em> if a third party has their IP infringed – a piece of their artwork was shown in a feature film without their consent – if they see this on YouTube, they can simply report it. Individuals have reporting rights for IP or <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/102723/e-o-insurance-how-much-of-your-productions-format-is-copyright-able\" rel=\"noopener\">copyright infringement</a> that would ultimately result (in most cases) in the takedown of the content.

guest.</p>\n<!--more-->\n<h2 class=\"speakabletext\">Why Get Wedding Insurance?</h2>\n<p>Yikes:</p>\n<p>Right before walking down the aisle, the marquee tent is buffeted by wind and comes loose from its moorings and injures guests and destroys the buffet. The wedding insurance policy will provide the wedding couple with a lawyer to defend the resulting lawsuits from friends and relatives and the policy will also pay for the judgement amounts and will pay for the food and destroyed catering tables.</p>\n<h2 class=\"speakabletext\" style=\"font-size: 36px;\">How Much Does Wedding Insurance Cost?</h2>\n<p class=\"speakabletext\">A basic <a href=\"https://events.frontrowinsurance.com/\" rel=\"noopener\">one-day wedding insurance policy</a> (Canada) that covers: attire, presents, deposits and venue liability usually costs anywhere between $115 and $350 CAD, depending on the amount of coverage you want. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pricing subject to change.</span></p>\n<p></p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Are you in the US</span>?</span> <a href=\"https://events.frontrowinsurance.com/us\" rel=\"noopener\">Wedding insurance in the US</a> can be arranged quickly through our online program.&nbsp;</em></p>\n<h3>Do You Really Need <a href=\"https://events.frontrowinsurance.com/\" rel=\"noopener\">Wedding Insurance</a>?</h3>\n<p>If you cannot afford the costs associated with a lawsuit then it is smart to transfer the risks of your wedding to an insurance policy. The cost of <a href=\"https://events.frontrowinsurance.com/\" rel=\"noopener\">one-day event insurance for a wedding</a> is usually 1% or less than the cost of your wedding budget. Often the venue will not allow you access until you prove you have short term venue liability.

The wedding insurance policy will provide the wedding couple with a lawyer to defend the resulting lawsuits from friends and relatives and the policy will also pay for the judgement amounts and will pay for the food and destroyed catering tables.</p>\n<h2 class=\"speakabletext\" style=\"font-size: 36px;\">How Much Does Wedding Insurance Cost?</h2>\n<p class=\"speakabletext\">A basic <a href=\"https://events.frontrowinsurance.com/\" rel=\"noopener\">one-day wedding insurance policy</a> (Canada) that covers: attire, presents, deposits and venue liability usually costs anywhere between $115 and $350 CAD, depending on the amount of coverage you want. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pricing subject to change.</span></p>\n<p></p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Are you in the US</span>?</span> <a href=\"https://events.frontrowinsurance.com/us\" rel=\"noopener\">Wedding insurance in the US</a> can be arranged quickly through our online program.&nbsp;</em></p>\n<h3>Do You Really Need <a href=\"https://events.frontrowinsurance.com/\" rel=\"noopener\">Wedding Insurance</a>?</h3>\n<p>If you cannot afford the costs associated with a lawsuit then it is smart to transfer the risks of your wedding to an insurance policy.

On their big day, a forest fire blocked access to the farm. With the right wedding insurance policy, the couple can postpone their wedding and receive the money they lost (less the deductible)—including money for the invitations, wedding cake, food, rented dresses and suits and non-refundable deposits for the band, flowers and other suppliers.</li>\n<li>The ring is stolen from the truck of the best man’s car. Special event wedding insurance will pay for a replacement.</li>\n<li>Right before walking down the aisle, the marquee tent is buffeted by wind and comes loose from its moorings and injures guests and destroys the buffet. The wedding insurance policy will provide the wedding couple with a lawyer to defend the resulting lawsuits from friends and relatives and the policy will also pay for the judgement amounts and will pay for the food and destroyed catering tables.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2 class=\"speakabletext\">How Much Does Wedding Insurance Cost?</h2>\n<p class=\"speakabletext\">A basic one day wedding insurance policy that covers: attire, presents, deposits and venue liability usually costs anywhere between $105 and $350 CAD, depending on the amount of coverage you want. Pricing subject to change.</p>\n<p></p>\n<h3>Do You Really Need Wedding Insurance?</h3>\n<p>If you cannot afford the costs associated with a lawsuit then it is smart to transfer the risks of your wedding to an insurance policy. The cost of one day event insurance for a wedding is usually 1% or less than the cost of your wedding budget. Often the venue will not allow you access until you prove you have short term venue liability. The venue may also want to see evidence of venue alcohol liability.</p>\n<h3>When Should You Get Wedding Insurance?</h3>\n<p>As soon as you start your wedding checklist. Let's say you put a deposit on your wedding venue months in advance of your wedding date and then it is damaged in a windstorm a month before the big day. With online wedding insurance, you'll receive your deposit back.</p>\n<h3>What Does Wedding Insurance Cover?</h3>\n<p>Check our online site to learn all the ways you will be protected.</p>\n<h3>Wedding Insurance Doesn't Cover...</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A change of heart.</li>\n<li>Unused alcohol</li>\n<li>Photos or video or food that was not as good as you were expecting</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Cheap event insurance is available for your wedding online with no need to talk to an insurance broker.

singing a song in a film, the first point is that if you’re a producer and you have someone singing in a film and it’s actually them singing (not a recording) a song that exists, you need permission to use the composition in the film. If you are recording someone singing a song in a film, then you don’t need to get the rights to use the original recording because you’re making the recording yourself. So, you don’t have to get the master rights from some record label; you’ve created the recording yourself.</p>\n<p>If you’re the producer and you’ve asked your director to tell the singer to add an extra chorus or change a verse around based on the storyline, you’re changing the song. There are two things to consider: <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">1) </span>you may need to get some rights from the writer; if the performer went off script, you need their consent and<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"> 2) </span>you need the right to change the composition. Whoever controls the original composition, they need to give consent to you changing around the words or the process or the order of the song. Same goes for translation; if the original song is in English and you want it to be in French in your movie, you need consent for the translation. Even if you hire a translator or use Google Translate, you’re not allowed to do that without getting consent for this translation that you have done.</p>\n<p>If you’re using a song in a film that is being performed by someone in the film or TV show, you need to make sure that if there are any changes to that composition, you need to get permission from whoever the composition originated with AND you need consent to use the new intellectual property created by whoever made those changes. However, as I said, if you’re making your own recording of a song, you don’t need to buy the recording of the original song, so that could save some money, but adds some hoops to jump through in terms of getting the proper permission.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&amp;O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer's E&amp;O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/whats-a-music-exclusion\" rel=\"noopener\">What's a music exclusion?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/blurring-the-lines-of-music-infringement-law-three-perspectives-in-one\" rel=\"noopener\">Blurring the lines of music infringement law</a></li>\n<li><strong>eBook</strong>: <a href=\"/errors-omissions-insurance-101\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer's E&amp;O Insurance 101</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Byron Pascoe's film producer's E&amp;O videos</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

However, as I said, if you’re making your own recording of a song, you don’t need to buy the recording of the original song, so that could save some money, but adds some hoops to jump through in terms of getting the proper permission.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&amp;O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer's E&amp;O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/whats-a-music-exclusion\" rel=\"noopener\">What's a music exclusion?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/blurring-the-lines-of-music-infringement-law-three-perspectives-in-one\" rel=\"noopener\">Blurring the lines of music infringement law</a></li>\n<li><strong>eBook</strong>: <a href=\"/errors-omissions-insurance-101\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer's E&amp;O Insurance 101</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Byron Pascoe's film producer's E&amp;O videos</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

Pascoe</strong>: It’s a general misconception that if only a few seconds of a song or <a href=\"/articles/top-10-stock-footage-platforms-for-filmmakers\" rel=\"noopener\">stock footage clip</a> or anything is used, that it’s OK to use; that’s just not accurate. I hear a lot, <em>“Well, if I only use 10 seconds of this thing, is it OK?” </em>And my answer always is no. There’s no “10 second rule”; it’s not like a sandwich fell on the floor or that kind of thing.</p>\n<h2>Fair dealing (Canada) and music in film productions</h2>\n<p>So, if there is ANY amount of time being used from an existing song, you have to get permission. With the concept of fair dealing in Canada, there’s a process whereby there are some things that you can use (arguably) that is <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/bid/103438/e-o-acquire-proper-permission\">copyright infringement</a> but because of the fair dealing rules, you’re allowed to do it. Within music, <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/power-rangers-and-producers-errors-omissions-insurance\">parody</a> is one of the items in which you can try to rely on fair dealing. The thing about fair dealing in Canada (and fair use in the US) is that, sure, it’s part of the <em>Copyright Act</em>, it’s an exemption to copyright infringement, but really, the only way it can be determined definitively that it’s fair dealing in Canada, is if a judge says that it is. And it’s just not practical or financially feasible in most situations to go through the court system to have a judge determine that something is fair dealing.</p>\n<p>When people ask me, <em>“Is this fair dealing or fair use?”</em>, it always depends on the situation but preferably, you would not rely on fair dealing/fair use at all. You don’t want to have to deal with a claim and have to defend it and go to court and make the claim that it’s fair dealing. Fair dealing and fair use are key aspects of the copyright regime in general but it’s not the first thing that you should rely on when putting music into your film. You should be getting permission.</p>\n<p>Whether music is in the background or at the forefront or is the theme song of a TV show or in the credits, it does not change the fact that you need permission. You’re probably going to pay more money if the song is a theme song <em>vs.</em> in the background but it doesn’t matter if it’s one second or 1,000 seconds or in the background or forefront; you need permission.</p>\n<h2>Public domain and music in film productions</h2>\n<p>The concept of public domain is that after a certain amount of time <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/film-production-right-of-publicity\">after an author’s death</a>, the music goes into the public domain, meaning that people in the public can use it without permission. So, if I write a song today, if a producer wants to use it, they need permission from me. But if I had died 100 years ago, you don’t need permission. Now the question is, when does music go into the public domain? Currently, in Canada, it’s 70 years after January 1<sup>st</sup> the year after the author has died. I work a lot in the area of <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/the-evolution-of-clearances-for-animated-programming\">kids’ animation productions</a> and in those situations, you have people composing music that may be based on music in the public domain. Part of my role is to establish whether or not the music for which someone is basing their new song on is in the public domain. If a composition is in the public domain, then if you’re creating a new version of it, you don’t need permission from anybody. If a song may or may not be in the public domain, you need to research whether or not it’s in the public domain, and if it’s not, you need to get permission from whoever controls that composition.</p>\n<p>There’s a lot of music in the public domain and people who have made adaptations and arrangements of music in the public domain, and if you as a producer want to use a composition that is an arrangement of something in the public domain, you need permission from whoever arranged that public domain work. If your composer wants to create a score that’s allegedly based on a public domain work, then it’s important to clarify whether it’s really in the public domain. There are different rules about public domain in different parts of the world; Canada and the US have a similar structure now.</p>\n<p>A lot of holiday and Christmas songs are in the public domain; that’s kind of where public domain comes up a lot in productions (to know whether a certain jingle is in the public domain or not). Public domain is an important part of the music ecosystem with film productions and it’s important to clarify that in Canada, the US and beyond, that something <em>is actually in</em> the public domain.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&amp;O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/fair-use-vs.-fair-dealing\" rel=\"noopener\">E&amp;O considerations for US-based vs. Canada-based producers</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/who-can-give-consent-to-have-music-be-in-a-film\" rel=\"noopener\">Who can give consent to have music in a film?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/filmmakers-insurance-part-i\" rel=\"noopener\">Fair use and E&amp;O insurance for filmmakers</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer’s E&amp;O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Errors and omissions insurance (E&amp;O) – Byron Pascoe</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

href=\"/articles/top-10-stock-footage-platforms-for-filmmakers\" rel=\"noopener\">stock footage clip</a> or anything is used, that it’s OK to use; that’s just not accurate. I hear a lot, <em>“Well, if I only use 10 seconds of this thing, is it OK?” </em>And my answer always is no. There’s no “10 second rule”; it’s not like a sandwich fell on the floor or that kind of thing.</p>\n<h2>Fair dealing (Canada) and music in film productions</h2>\n<p>So, if there is ANY amount of time being used from an existing song, you have to get permission. With the concept of fair dealing in Canada, there’s a process whereby there are some things that you can use (arguably) that is <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/bid/103438/e-o-acquire-proper-permission\">copyright infringement</a> but because of the fair dealing rules, you’re allowed to do it. Within music, <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/power-rangers-and-producers-errors-omissions-insurance\">parody</a> is one of the items in which you can try to rely on fair dealing. The thing about fair dealing in Canada (and fair use in the US) is that, sure, it’s part of the <em>Copyright Act</em>, it’s an exemption to copyright infringement, but really, the only way it can be determined definitively that it’s fair dealing in Canada, is if a judge says that it is. And it’s just not practical or financially feasible in most situations to go through the court system to have a judge determine that something is fair dealing.</p>\n<p>When people ask me, <em>“Is this fair dealing or fair use?”</em>, it always depends on the situation but preferably, you would not rely on fair dealing/fair use at all. You don’t want to have to deal with a claim and have to defend it and go to court and make the claim that it’s fair dealing. Fair dealing and fair use are key aspects of the copyright regime in general but it’s not the first thing that you should rely on when putting music into your film. You should be getting permission.</p>\n<p>Whether music is in the background or at the forefront or is the theme song of a TV show or in the credits, it does not change the fact that you need permission. You’re probably going to pay more money if the song is a theme song <em>vs.</em> in the background but it doesn’t matter if it’s one second or 1,000 seconds or in the background or forefront; you need permission.</p>\n<h2>Public domain and music in film productions</h2>\n<p>The concept of public domain is that after a certain amount of time <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/film-production-right-of-publicity\">after an author’s death</a>, the music goes into the public domain, meaning that people in the public can use it without permission. So, if I write a song today, if a producer wants to use it, they need permission from me. But if I had died 100 years ago, you don’t need permission. Now the question is, when does music go into the public domain? Currently, in Canada, it’s 70 years after January 1<sup>st</sup> the year after the author has died. I work a lot in the area of <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/the-evolution-of-clearances-for-animated-programming\">kids’ animation productions</a> and in those situations, you have people composing music that may be based on music in the public domain. Part of my role is to establish whether or not the music for which someone is basing their new song on is in the public domain. If a composition is in the public domain, then if you’re creating a new version of it, you don’t need permission from anybody. If a song may or may not be in the public domain, you need to research whether or not it’s in the public domain, and if it’s not, you need to get permission from whoever controls that composition.</p>\n<p>There’s a lot of music in the public domain and people who have made adaptations and arrangements of music in the public domain, and if you as a producer want to use a composition that is an arrangement of something in the public domain, you need permission from whoever arranged that public domain work. If your composer wants to create a score that’s allegedly based on a public domain work, then it’s important to clarify whether it’s really in the public domain. There are different rules about public domain in different parts of the world; Canada and the US have a similar structure now.</p>\n<p>A lot of holiday and Christmas songs are in the public domain; that’s kind of where public domain comes up a lot in productions (to know whether a certain jingle is in the public domain or not). Public domain is an important part of the music ecosystem with film productions and it’s important to clarify that in Canada, the US and beyond, that something <em>is actually in</em> the public domain.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&amp;O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/fair-use-vs.-fair-dealing\" rel=\"noopener\">E&amp;O considerations for US-based vs. Canada-based producers</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/who-can-give-consent-to-have-music-be-in-a-film\" rel=\"noopener\">Who can give consent to have music in a film?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/filmmakers-insurance-part-i\" rel=\"noopener\">Fair use and E&amp;O insurance for filmmakers</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer’s E&amp;O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Errors and omissions insurance (E&amp;O) – Byron Pascoe</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

I hear a lot, <em>“Well, if I only use 10 seconds of this thing, is it OK?” </em>And my answer always is no. There’s no “10 second rule”; it’s not like a sandwich fell on the floor or that kind of thing.</p>\n<h2>Fair dealing (Canada) and music in film productions</h2>\n<p>So, if there is ANY amount of time being used from an existing song, you have to get permission. With the concept of fair dealing in Canada, there’s a process whereby there are some things that you can use (arguably) that is <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/bid/103438/e-o-acquire-proper-permission\">copyright infringement</a> but because of the fair dealing rules, you’re allowed to do it. Within music, <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/power-rangers-and-producers-errors-omissions-insurance\">parody</a> is one of the items in which you can try to rely on fair dealing. The thing about fair dealing in Canada (and fair use in the US) is that, sure, it’s part of the <em>Copyright Act</em>, it’s an exemption to copyright infringement, but really, the only way it can be determined definitively that it’s fair dealing in Canada, is if a judge says that it is. And it’s just not practical or financially feasible in most situations to go through the court system to have a judge determine that something is fair dealing.</p>\n<p>When people ask me, <em>“Is this fair dealing or fair use?”</em>, it always depends on the situation but preferably, you would not rely on fair dealing/fair use at all. You don’t want to have to deal with a claim and have to defend it and go to court and make the claim that it’s fair dealing. Fair dealing and fair use are key aspects of the copyright regime in general but it’s not the first thing that you should rely on when putting music into your film. You should be getting permission.</p>\n<p>Whether music is in the background or at the forefront or is the theme song of a TV show or in the credits, it does not change the fact that you need permission. You’re probably going to pay more money if the song is a theme song <em>vs.</em> in the background but it doesn’t matter if it’s one second or 1,000 seconds or in the background or forefront; you need permission.</p>\n<h2>Public domain and music in film productions</h2>\n<p>The concept of public domain is that after a certain amount of time <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/film-production-right-of-publicity\">after an author’s death</a>, the music goes into the public domain, meaning that people in the public can use it without permission. So, if I write a song today, if a producer wants to use it, they need permission from me. But if I had died 100 years ago, you don’t need permission. Now the question is, when does music go into the public domain? Currently, in Canada, it’s 70 years after January 1<sup>st</sup> the year after the author has died. I work a lot in the area of <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/the-evolution-of-clearances-for-animated-programming\">kids’ animation productions</a> and in those situations, you have people composing music that may be based on music in the public domain. Part of my role is to establish whether or not the music for which someone is basing their new song on is in the public domain. If a composition is in the public domain, then if you’re creating a new version of it, you don’t need permission from anybody. If a song may or may not be in the public domain, you need to research whether or not it’s in the public domain, and if it’s not, you need to get permission from whoever controls that composition.</p>\n<p>There’s a lot of music in the public domain and people who have made adaptations and arrangements of music in the public domain, and if you as a producer want to use a composition that is an arrangement of something in the public domain, you need permission from whoever arranged that public domain work.

music in film. Approximately 100,000 songs are uploaded to Spotify every day; there’s a lot of music that’s out there. Most music that is created and put out there in the world is created by independent artists who wrote and recorded their own music, and for them, they can give all the consents. They can grant the rights to use the recording and the composition.</p>\n<p>If there’s a record label involved, the label may have the right to give permission. If there’s a publisher involved, they may have the right; it really depends on who the creative collaborators are, who the other parties are (if there’s a record label, publisher, one person vs. many people). There’s a lot of music where there’s a lot of people involved. It’s not just co-writers; it’s also producers. Music producers oftentimes own and control a share of a composition. I work for producers, beatmakers, artists, all the different players, and I know from just their way of working together that they’re each composers/writers.</p>\n<p>You need to make sure that if there’s a lot of people credited on a song, that you’re getting permission from the right people. Don’t assume that the main artist is the only decision maker. You need to make sure that everybody who is listed on a song is dealt with in some way: either get permission from them personally or from the entity giving permission on behalf of everybody else. It’s important to get permission from everybody who was involved in the production or someone on their behalf.</p>\n<p>If there was a producer involved and s/he never gave consent to the artist to use the composition, or if they hadn’t clarified their splits of the composition, you want to make sure that they have done that. It’s important to do a “deep dive” on all music that you’re using to make sure that you’re being very detailed and specific about who may have been involved. What you want to avoid is for someone you’ve never heard of to come after you later to say, <em>“I was a producer on that track… I used to be in the band at that time and they never got consent from me to use the music.”</em> So, ask a lot of questions to the musicians you’re working with. If you want to have music in your production, make sure that you’re getting consent from everybody who has the right to give consent for that music to be in your production.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&amp;O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/band-on-the-run-touring-insurance-tips-for-taking-your-show-on-the-road\" rel=\"noopener\">Band on the run: touring insurance tips</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/what-about-when-film-producers-are-unable-to-obtain-music-rights\" rel=\"noopener\">What about when film producers are unable to obtain music rights?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/what-are-considerations-around-singers-performing-music-in-a-film\" rel=\"noopener\">Singers performing music in a film</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/blurring-the-lines-of-music-infringement-law-three-perspectives-in-one\" rel=\"noopener\">Blurred Lines music infringement lawsuit</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/music-licenses-for-non-original-music-used-in-a-film-production\" rel=\"noopener\">Music licenses for non-original music used in a film production</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer’s E&amp;O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Errors and omissions insurance (E&amp;O) – Byron Pascoe</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

If you want to have music in your production, make sure that you’re getting consent from everybody who has the right to give consent for that music to be in your production.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&amp;O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/band-on-the-run-touring-insurance-tips-for-taking-your-show-on-the-road\" rel=\"noopener\">Band on the run: touring insurance tips</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/what-about-when-film-producers-are-unable-to-obtain-music-rights\" rel=\"noopener\">What about when film producers are unable to obtain music rights?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/what-are-considerations-around-singers-performing-music-in-a-film\" rel=\"noopener\">Singers performing music in a film</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/blurring-the-lines-of-music-infringement-law-three-perspectives-in-one\" rel=\"noopener\">Blurred Lines music infringement lawsuit</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/music-licenses-for-non-original-music-used-in-a-film-production\" rel=\"noopener\">Music licenses for non-original music used in a film production</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer’s E&amp;O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Errors and omissions insurance (E&amp;O) – Byron Pascoe</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

Approximately 100,000 songs are uploaded to Spotify every day; there’s a lot of music that’s out there. Most music that is created and put out there in the world is created by independent artists who wrote and recorded their own music, and for them, they can give all the consents. They can grant the rights to use the recording and the composition.</p>\n<p>If there’s a record label involved, the label may have the right to give permission. If there’s a publisher involved, they may have the right; it really depends on who the creative collaborators are, who the other parties are (if there’s a record label, publisher, one person vs. many people). There’s a lot of music where there’s a lot of people involved. It’s not just co-writers; it’s also producers. Music producers oftentimes own and control a share of a composition. I work for producers, beatmakers, artists, all the different players, and I know from just their way of working together that they’re each composers/writers.</p>\n<p>You need to make sure that if there’s a lot of people credited on a song, that you’re getting permission from the right people. Don’t assume that the main artist is the only decision maker. You need to make sure that everybody who is listed on a song is dealt with in some way: either get permission from them personally or from the entity giving permission on behalf of everybody else. It’s important to get permission from everybody who was involved in the production or someone on their behalf.</p>\n<p>If there was a producer involved and s/he never gave consent to the artist to use the composition, or if they hadn’t clarified their splits of the composition, you want to make sure that they have done that.

cast insurance claims and they can be some of the biggest claims that a project can incur. One of the examples that I saw on the Front Row blog was <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/example-of-a-cast-insurance-claim\">when Heath Ledger died</a> during <em>The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus</em> (2009), which would have been before you joined Front Row. But that had to be recast with new actors and all of the fallout that happens from something like that and the insurance followed as well.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike Groner</strong>: I believe that is still the largest cast claim in Canada for a Canadian film.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: And I do know the largest in the US was <em>The Fast and the Furious</em> franchise, which was $50 million, and that was <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/how-to-call-a-wrap-on-top-film-insurance-claims\">Paul Walker when he passed away</a>, so a huge amount of money. Big losses to do stuff like that.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: The cast insurance part of the production package is without a doubt your biggest exposure on any film. You can just imagine the costs associated with replacing an actor midway if they got injured or died, or even if <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/articles/bid/25404/insurance-for-body-parts\">an actor breaks a leg</a>, and you have to shut down for two days, significant costs are being bled from the production company for holding locations, equipment, you still have to carry your cast and crew.</p>\n<p>Those are hundreds of thousands of dollars a day in costs that are going to be spent whether you’re able to film or not.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: I read a couple stories, one was about Brad Pitt in <em><a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_(1995_film)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Se7en</a></em> (1995), and I guess when he did a scene and hit the car, he actually hurt himself and they just kept him in a sling anyway. So, he got hurt in the movie but he also got hurt in real life and I feel like they worked around it on purpose, so it’s possible to “take an injury in” and use it as part of the story.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: And there’s also the situation of actor availability. For someone like Pitt, who may have three other projects lined up, if they lost him for a week while his arm was getting better, they may not be able to finish their project for six months after his next project is done.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: And it’s funny when you watch it as an audience member, you don’t even care, but you know the people who were working on that stuff care, they had a lot of sleepless nights.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: It’s not too much different than writing in a pregnancy on a TV show or movie. These things happen and in the case of Brad Pitt injuring himself, that’s insurable, but you cannot really insure against someone getting pregnant; it’s not an injury.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: That’s interesting because I know actors sign contracts that they won’t do certain things but that’s not necessarily related to film production insurance.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: Well, we require actors, actresses and the director – anyone who is going to be insured as a cast member on a film – <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/articles/bid/61710/cast-insurance-5-reasons-to-use-an-approved-cast-doctor\">they have to undergo a physical</a>.

Big losses to do stuff like that.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: The cast insurance part of the production package is without a doubt your biggest exposure on any film. You can just imagine the costs associated with replacing an actor midway if they got injured or died, or even if <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/articles/bid/25404/insurance-for-body-parts\">an actor breaks a leg</a>, and you have to shut down for two days, significant costs are being bled from the production company for holding locations, equipment, you still have to carry your cast and crew.</p>\n<p>Those are hundreds of thousands of dollars a day in costs that are going to be spent whether you’re able to film or not.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: I read a couple stories, one was about Brad Pitt in <em><a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_(1995_film)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Se7en</a></em> (1995), and I guess when he did a scene and hit the car, he actually hurt himself and they just kept him in a sling anyway. So, he got hurt in the movie but he also got hurt in real life and I feel like they worked around it on purpose, so it’s possible to “take an injury in” and use it as part of the story.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: And there’s also the situation of actor availability. For someone like Pitt, who may have three other projects lined up, if they lost him for a week while his arm was getting better, they may not be able to finish their project for six months after his next project is done.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: And it’s funny when you watch it as an audience member, you don’t even care, but you know the people who were working on that stuff care, they had a lot of sleepless nights.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: It’s not too much different than writing in a pregnancy on a TV show or movie. These things happen and in the case of Brad Pitt injuring himself, that’s insurable, but you cannot really insure against someone getting pregnant; it’s not an injury.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: That’s interesting because I know actors sign contracts that they won’t do certain things but that’s not necessarily related to film production insurance.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: Well, we require actors, actresses and the director – anyone who is going to be insured as a cast member on a film – <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/articles/bid/61710/cast-insurance-5-reasons-to-use-an-approved-cast-doctor\">they have to undergo a physical</a>.

One of the examples that I saw on the Front Row blog was <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/example-of-a-cast-insurance-claim\">when Heath Ledger died</a> during <em>The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus</em> (2009), which would have been before you joined Front Row. But that had to be recast with new actors and all of the fallout that happens from something like that and the insurance followed as well.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike Groner</strong>: I believe that is still the largest cast claim in Canada for a Canadian film.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: And I do know the largest in the US was <em>The Fast and the Furious</em> franchise, which was $50 million, and that was <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/how-to-call-a-wrap-on-top-film-insurance-claims\">Paul Walker when he passed away</a>, so a huge amount of money. Big losses to do stuff like that.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: The cast insurance part of the production package is without a doubt your biggest exposure on any film. You can just imagine the costs associated with replacing an actor midway if they got injured or died, or even if <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/articles/bid/25404/insurance-for-body-parts\">an actor breaks a leg</a>, and you have to shut down for two days, significant costs are being bled from the production company for holding locations, equipment, you still have to carry your cast and crew.</p>\n<p>Those are hundreds of thousands of dollars a day in costs that are going to be spent whether you’re able to film or not.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: I read a couple stories, one was about Brad Pitt in <em><a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_(1995_film)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Se7en</a></em> (1995), and I guess when he did a scene and hit the car, he actually hurt himself and they just kept him in a sling anyway. So, he got hurt in the movie but he also got hurt in real life and I feel like they worked around it on purpose, so it’s possible to “take an injury in” and use it as part of the story.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: And there’s also the situation of actor availability. For someone like Pitt, who may have three other projects lined up, if they lost him for a week while his arm was getting better, they may not be able to finish their project for six months after his next project is done.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: And it’s funny when you watch it as an audience member, you don’t even care, but you know the people who were working on that stuff care, they had a lot of sleepless nights.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: It’s not too much different than writing in a pregnancy on a TV show or movie.

The first being the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">liability</span>; that’s your <a href=\"/articles/commercial-general-liability\" rel=\"noopener\">commercial general liability</a>, also known as public liability. That’s the bodily injury or property damage to the public. No equipment vendor is going to let you out the door without liability insurance. You’re not going to get a film permit without liability insurance, and a financier is not going to give you your drawdown without liability insurance because no one wants to be sued on your behalf.</p>\n<p>The second and most common part is the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">property</span> section. This will insure your <a href=\"/articles/production-equipment-and-props-sets-wardrobe-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">props, set, wardrobe</a>, production equipment, cameras, lighting, grip, as well as damage to <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/110340/film-production-insurance-and-renting-crew-personal-vehicles\" rel=\"noopener\">vehicles being rented</a> by the production whether they’re on camera or behind camera. <a href=\"/grip-van-grip-truck-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">Grip trucks</a>, mobile studio units, trailers, etc. That’s all the physical damage to those types of property.</p>\n<p>The third section is sort of the unknown part to most people who are out to buy film insurance and that’s <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">first-party coverage</span> or <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/75392/film-production-equipment-insurance-why-you-need-extra-expense\" rel=\"noopener\">extra expense coverage</a>. The big one there and the one we tend to see the largest claims on is <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/61710/cast-insurance-5-reasons-to-use-an-approved-cast-doctor\" rel=\"noopener\">cast insurance</a>. This insures your key cast members or your director if they get sick, injured or die. It doesn’t cover workers compensation and it doesn’t protect the artists themselves; what it’s doing is protecting the production company for expenses that the company would incur if they had to do a reshoot or shut down production to wait for that artist or director to get better. Or, in severe cases where maybe someone dies, or they’re not going to get better quick enough for the production to get done, it would cover the cost to go back and reshoot with a new artist.</p>\n<p>Some of the big examples of this would be <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/example-of-a-cast-insurance-claim\">Heath Ledger on <em>The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus</em></a><em> </em>(2009) or <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/how-to-call-a-wrap-on-top-film-insurance-claims\">Paul Walker dying</a> during one of the episodes of the <em>Fast &amp; Furious</em> films and that’s actually the largest cast claim in history; upwards of $50 million.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/film-production-insurance\">film production insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/michael-groner\" rel=\"noopener\">Mike Groner Bio</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/24987/film-production-insurance-why-it-is-needed\" rel=\"noopener\">Film Insurance: Why is it Needed?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/entertainment-insurance-package-policy\" rel=\"noopener\">Entertainment Package Policy Explained</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Content courtesy of the <a href=\"https://cinevic.buzzsprout.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CineVic podcast</a></span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">About</span>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that specializes in the entertainment industry – specifically, the film industry.

So, sometimes you need to have E&amp;O well before you know what music is going to be in your film and before you have consent from the music owners to use the music.</p>\n<!--more-->\n<p>For example: if someone is getting funding from an organization and they require that you have an E&amp;O insurance policy well before production, you can get E&amp;O insurance, but the music is not included yet in the policy. So, later on, once there is music chosen and the entertainment lawyer has reviewed everything, what the lawyer would do is say, months later: “now the music has been chosen, there are agreements in place, I’ve reviewed everything and I’m letting you know [insurance company lawyer] that the music has now been cleared.”</p>\n<p>So, I would tell the lawyer for the insurer and the lawyer for the insurer would tell the insurance broker and then the insurer would say, “OK, we are removing the music exclusion.

So, sometimes you need to have E&amp;O well before you know what music is going to be in your film and before you have consent from the music owners to use the music.</p>\n<!--more-->\n<p>For example: if someone is getting funding from an organization and they require that you have an E&amp;O insurance policy well before production, you can get E&amp;O insurance, but the music is not included yet in the policy. So, later on, once there is music chosen and the entertainment lawyer has reviewed everything, what the lawyer would do is say, months later: “now the music has been chosen, there are agreements in place, I’ve reviewed everything and I’m letting you know [insurance company lawyer] that the music has now been cleared.”</p>\n<p>So, I would tell the lawyer for the insurer and the lawyer for the insurer would tell the insurance broker and then the insurer would say, “OK, we are removing the music exclusion. Music is now included [in the E&amp;O policy].”</p>\n<p>It’s oftentimes the case when music is excluded – not because there’s an issue with the song – but simply because we haven’t obtained permission yet. So, it’s OK to have a music exclusion early on but you don’t want to have a music exclusion when you’re ready for your production to actually be exploited.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&amp;O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/24691/steps-to-obtain-errors-and-ommissions-insurance-for-films\" rel=\"noopener\">Steps to obtaining producer's E&amp;O insurance</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/who-can-give-consent-to-have-music-be-in-a-film\" rel=\"noopener\">Who can give consent to have music in a film?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/what-are-considerations-around-singers-performing-music-in-a-film\" rel=\"noopener\">Singers performing music in a film</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/how-does-socan-play-a-role-in-helping-a-film-producer\" rel=\"noopener\">How can SOCAN help a film producer?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/blurring-the-lines-of-music-infringement-law-three-perspectives-in-one\" rel=\"noopener\">Blurred Lines music infringement lawsuit</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer’s E&amp;O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Errors and omissions insurance (E&amp;O) – Byron Pascoe</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

You just paid a lot of money for a three year policy. Will this cost you more premium? The answer is maybe. There is a special endorsement called a “Rights Period Endorsement (RPE) ” or “Term of Contract Endorsement (TOC)”. This endorsement will extend the length of your E&amp;O term to match the length of your distributors agreement as long as you notify the insurance carrier prior to the expiration of your policy. Just send us your distribution contract and in the majority of cases, the insurance carrier will provide you with this money-saving endorsement.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Now you can breathe easier knowing that your E&amp;O policy is in place to protect your company, financiers and distributors.</p>\n<h2>Producer's E&amp;O will cover legal &amp; judgment costs if you are found responsible for any of:</h2>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\">\n<li>Invasion or infringement of privacy</li>\n<li>Infringement of copyright or trademark</li>\n<li>Libel, slander or other forms of defamation</li>\n<li>Plagiarism, piracy or unfair competition resulting from the alleged use of titles, formats, ideas, characters, plots, performances of artists or performers or other material</li>\n<li>Breach of contract, implied or in fact or in law, resulting from the alleged submission, acquisition or use of program, musical or literary material used by the insured in the insured production</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Please note that this is an illustration only: for a detailed outline of E&amp;O coverage, <a href=\"/en/ida-insurance-program\" rel=\"noopener\">contact us</a> and we will send you a sample policy wording.

Please note that carriers will often include title cover at no additional premium. Once terms have been obtained, we will be able to confirm you know if a title report is needed.

The certificate will detail: your company name and address, what insurance company is covering you, how much insurance the project has (i.e. $1,000,000/$3,000,000), and what the retention (deductible) is, <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">e.g.,</span> $10,000 or $25,000).</li>\n<li>&nbsp;Second, the distributor wants to be covered for more than three years! You just paid a lot of money for a three year policy. Will this cost you more premium? The answer is maybe. There is a special endorsement called a “Rights Period Endorsement (RPE) ” or “Term of Contract Endorsement (TOC)”. This endorsement will extend the length of your E&amp;O term to match the length of your distributors agreement as long as you notify the insurance carrier prior to the expiration of your policy. Just send us your distribution contract and in the majority of cases, the insurance carrier will provide you with this money-saving endorsement.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Now you can breathe easier knowing that your E&amp;O policy is in place to protect your company, financiers and distributors.</p>\n<h2>Producer's E&amp;O will cover legal &amp; judgment costs if you are found responsible for any of:</h2>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\">\n<li>Invasion or infringement of privacy</li>\n<li>Infringement of copyright or trademark</li>\n<li>Libel, slander or other forms of defamation</li>\n<li>Plagiarism, piracy or unfair competition resulting from the alleged use of titles, formats, ideas, characters, plots, performances of artists or performers or other material</li>\n<li>Breach of contract, implied or in fact or in law, resulting from the alleged submission, acquisition or use of program, musical or literary material used by the insured in the insured production</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Please note that this is an illustration only: for a detailed outline of E&amp;O coverage, <a href=\"/en/ida-insurance-program\" rel=\"noopener\">contact us</a> and we will send you a sample policy wording.

No problem: you just send a request and provide us with your distributors name and address. This will generate a certificate of Insurance (COI).

You just paid a lot of money for a three year policy. Will this cost you more premium? The answer is maybe. There is a special endorsement called a “Rights Period Endorsement (RPE) ” or “Term of Contract Endorsement (TOC)”. This endorsement will extend the length of your E&amp;O term to match the length of your distributors agreement as long as you notify the insurance carrier prior to the expiration of your policy.

In a lot of cases, for certain budget levels and depending on which parties are involved, certain broadcasters or distributors might require that policy in place.</p> \n<p>There are obviously pros to this approach; not just because it is mandated by those third parties but it forces the production to get everything in order legally as quickly as possible: chain of title, cast and crew agreements, releases, any and all forms of rights and permissions that they need to go into production. The caveat to that is that some things just might not be obtained before or in the first couple days of production. <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/blurring-the-lines-of-music-infringement-law-three-perspectives-in-one\">Music rights</a>, for example, are typically obtained after production. So, there will be some contracts that may need to be sorted out afterwards. But once E&amp;O is wrapped up for the production, that is a huge hurdle that the production has jumped over and they can focus on other matters.</p> \n<p>On a practical note, many independent production companies under certain budget levels may not have those third parties attached to the project before they go to camera. Maybe they have one or two.</p> \n<p>So, they may not be mandated to get the E&amp;O policy before it goes to principal photography. They might be obtaining E&amp;O afterwards; maybe during <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/post-production-studios\">post-production</a> or even later on, once they get distribution or other interest from a sales agent or distributor.</p> \n<p>The one pro to this approach is that when you <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/answer-all-questions-on-eo-application\">complete the application</a>, you have a good understanding of all parties involved at that point. Chances are that you have music rights obtained, you have any and all third parties and necessary releases, and if for some reason you didn’t get a location or individual to sign a release during production, you might be able to get it a couple weeks later.</p> \n<p>The con to this approach is it all comes down to delivery: if you only obtain an E&amp;O policy to finalize a deal with a distributor, that’s part of the delivery process and you might go through that part and realize the film is already made, the final cut is done, and if your clearance lawyer spots an issue, the option of <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/how-does-a-clearance-lawyer-determine-what-material-has-to-be-removed\">removing it</a> might already be too late.</p> \n<p><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/109689/distributor-s-errors-and-omissions-e-o-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">The distributor</a> thinks they’re getting the final cut and there might be a situation with the project that could hold up delivery or the deal generally.

auto;\"></p>\n<p><strong>Daily Call Sheets</strong> are a useful way to alert cast and crew to potential hazards for that day’s shooting schedule, and to inform them about which safety precautions they might need to take. Film Insurance underwriters appreciate the <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/111284/risk-assessments-for-film-productions\" rel=\"noopener\">risk management</a> component of a call sheet and take this protocol into consideration when assessing the film insurance risk of a film production.</p>\n<h2>The following should be included on Call Sheets:</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Scheduled <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/25570/film-production-insurance-covering-stunts-and-special-effects\" rel=\"noopener\">stunts</a></li>\n<li>Any special effects that will be used</li>\n<li>Scheduled use of <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/111705/firearms-on-the-film-set-and-film-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">firearms</a></li>\n<li>Potential hazards specific to the location</li>\n<li>Any required personal protective clothing/PPE and how workers can get it</li>\n<li>The name, contact number, and location of the first aid attendant</li>\n<li>The location of the first aid kit or facility</li>\n<li>The location of the nearest hospital or emergency facility</li>\n<li>Any other health and safety concerns that the cast and crew need to be aware of</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Safety guidelines should be attached to call sheets, <em>i.e.,</em> If any special effects are to be used on the set, then a safety guideline should be attached specific to the type of special effects that will used. For example, if you are shooting near a thoroughfare with lots of traffic, it may be useful to add notes about this on the call sheet. What are the weather conditions like? Will the crew require special footwear or clothing for extreme temperature? What about sunscreen or hydration requirements?</p>\n<p>Along this line of thought, it is important to include information such as the nearest hospital, along with any other emergency numbers that are specific to your location.</p>\n<h2>Other film &amp; TV set safety considerations:</h2>\n<p>Putting up <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">safety posters</span> in common areas around the set as a reminder to pay attention to hazards around the workplace and certain locations, <em>e.g.,</em> <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/103371/helicopter-film-insurance-protect-your-production-against-a-crash\" rel=\" noopener\">Aerial filming</a>.</p>\n<p>A specialized film insurance broker is best able to present the risks associated with your film production to the film insurance underwriter to ensure you receive the best coverage and premium for your production.</p>\n<p><a href=\"/film-production-insurance/\" title=\"Front Row Insurance Brokers\" target=\"_self\">Front Row Insurance Brokers</a> are specialized Film Insurance Brokers. <a href=\"/contact-us\" rel=\" noopener\">Please call us</a> if you have any questions.</p>\n<p><em>The above information is&nbsp; based on WorkSafe – Focus on Safety – Safe Work Practices for Film and Television Production in B.C.

And when writers write a song, whether they’re a beatmaker or producer or lyricist or rapper, etc., they register themselves as a SOCAN writer member, and they should also register all their compositions to SOCAN.</p>\n<p>A lot of the time what I’m doing is going on SOCAN’s website, looking at their repertoire, looking up a composition and seeing who the writers and publishers are. And sometimes I discover that there are people listed there who are not subject to any agreement of a song that we’re licensing.</p>\n<p>I remember one time, I was helping a producer put together some master use and synchronization licensing agreements, they gave me the names of every song, they knew who all the writers were and who created the recordings, and as an extra layer of due diligence, I went onto SOCAN’s website, I searched every composition, and for one composition I found that there was some other person listed who had the same last name as a writer we knew about, but it was some other person.</p>\n<p>So, I asked the producer to go check this out and it ended up being the child of this composer. So, the composer listed themselves and their kid, which actually extends the life of a song when it goes into the <a href=\"/articles/how-do-fair-dealing-and-public-domain-apply-to-music\" rel=\"noopener\">public domain</a> because if you’re 100 and your co-writer is 5, then the public domain starts way later, but that’s another topic.</p>\n<h2>How does a producer use SOCAN?</h2>\n<p>[A film producer] can see on SOCAN who the writers are, or at least who is registered as a writer. SOCAN does not equal fact all the time. Just because someone is listed as a writer on SOCAN doesn’t mean that they actually wrote the song, but it’s a good way to do some due diligence to see whether or not someone is missing from the list of agreements.</p>\n<p>SOCAN is not the only list that is out there. Oftentimes, I also look at the BMI and ASCAP lists. These organizations are similar to SOCAN but based in the US. They have a similar repertoire system but there are some songs listed there that aren’t on SOCAN’s lists, but the bottom line is that these <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_rights_organisation\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">performance rights organizations</a> (PROs) have lists of compositions and those lists can be helpful to see whether or not there are people who may come after you if you don’t get their consent [to use their music in your production].</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&amp;O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/bid/117160/instrument-insurance-for-socan-members\" rel=\"noopener\">Musical Instrument Insurance for SOCAN Members</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/en/socan-instrument-application\" rel=\"noopener\">Online Musical Instrument Insurance for SOCAN Members, Available 24/7</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/whats-a-music-exclusion\" rel=\"noopener\">What's a music exclusion?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer’s E&amp;O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><strong>eBook</strong>: <a href=\"/errors-omissions-insurance-101\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer's E&amp;O Insurance 101</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Errors and omissions insurance (E&amp;O) – Byron Pascoe</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

\n<p><strong><br>Colby Spencer</strong>: For someone who is an indie filmmaker or doing a small project, what are some things that you wish you could tell them that they can learn from this episode?</p> \n<p><strong>Mike Groner</strong>: I would say probably the most important thing – and I try to hit this home with every filmmaker – when you’re going to film at a location, whether it is someone’s home or a studio, or you’ve rented a diner, have two or three people on your crew walk around with their cell phones and film every inch of that location. Capture every “before” version of that home or location before the rest of the cast/crew or any equipment enters into that location.</p> \n<p>The reason being is: every homeowner is going to come back to their home after you’re doing using it for a film and they’re going to see a little scratch on the kitchen counter, they’re going to see a paint chip in the bedroom, they’re going to see a little nick on the floor, and they’re going to blame the production. And the only tool you have to counter that would be the “before” photos.</p> \n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: Yeah, like a car rental, same thing, right? When you come back, it’s on you, so you better note it before.</p> \n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: But it’s even more extreme when a homeowner comes back to their home and maybe doesn’t remember that their kid may have made that hole behind the door but all they see is, “I don’t remember it there. I want everything back the way it was, you know, 30 years ago when we bought the home.”</p> \n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: This is my chance to get a renovation! Well, and a lot of people think, film has deep pockets, so it’s like “I’ll just complain and I’ll get something.” But this [usually] isn’t <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_X-Files\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><em>The X-Files</em></a>, this is like some UBC students who came in and shot a short.</p> \n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: I had a funny one maybe four to five years ago where a homeowner claimed that their floors were damaged by the production, which technically they were, but maybe only two or three panels of the wood floors that were damaged.</p> \n<p>So, there is this meeting between the homeowners, the claims adjuster (who works for the insurance company) and the contractor who would be repairing or replacing the floors. They brought it to the attention of the adjuster that the particular floors that were being used in this home are no longer made and they more or less proved to the adjuster that in order to make this homeowner whole, they’re going to have to replace the entire bottom floor of this home with a new floor. Not that unusual, especially in an older home, you’re not going to be able to find that particular floor anymore, especially if it’s real wood.</p> \n<p>But during this discussion, all of a sudden, the teenage son of the homeowners comes in with an entire box of the flooring and says, “Hey guys, guess what, I found all the extra flooring from when the floors were done!” So, what was probably going to be a $30,000 claim (the homeowners were going to get new flooring, they were going to get to pick out the colour, etc.) turned out to be about $300 in labor and wasn’t even an insurance claim at the end.</p> \n<p>&nbsp;</p> \n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span></em> Get a quote for <a href=\"/en/film-production-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">film production insurance here</a>.</p> \n<p>&nbsp;</p> \n<p><strong>Related</strong>:</p> \n<ul> \n <li><a href=\"/michael-groner\" rel=\"noopener\">Mike Groner Bio</a></li> \n <li><a href=\"/articles/most-common-film-insurance-claims\" rel=\"noopener\">Common Film Insurance Claims</a></li> \n <li><a href=\"/articles/how-to-call-a-wrap-on-top-film-insurance-claims\" rel=\"noopener\">How To Call A Wrap On Top Film Insurance Claims</a></li> \n <li><a href=\"/articles/third-party-property-damage-liability\" rel=\"noopener\">Third Party Property Damage Coverage Explained</a></li> \n</ul> \n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Content courtesy of the <a href=\"https://vantropolis.simplecast.com/episodes/vantropolis-mike-groner\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Vantropolis podcast</a></span></p> \n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">About</span>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that specializes in the entertainment industry – specifically, the film industry.

with every filmmaker – when you’re going to film at a location, whether it is someone’s home or a studio, or you’ve rented a diner, have two or three people on your crew walk around with their cell

And the only tool you have to counter that would be the “before” photos.</p> \n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: Yeah, like a car rental, same thing, right? When you come back, it’s on you, so you better note it before.</p> \n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: But it’s even more extreme when a homeowner comes back to their home and maybe doesn’t remember that their kid may have made that hole behind the door but all they see is, “I don’t remember it there. I want everything back the way it was, you know, 30 years ago when we bought the home.”</p> \n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: This is my chance to get a renovation!

Capture every “before” version of that home or location before the rest of the cast/crew or any equipment enters into that location.</p> \n<p>The reason being is: every homeowner is going to come back to their home after you’re doing using it for a film and they’re going to see a little scratch on the kitchen counter, they’re going to see a paint chip in the bedroom, they’re going to see a little nick on the floor, and they’re going to blame the production. And the only tool you have to counter that would be the “before” photos.</p> \n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: Yeah, like a car rental, same thing, right? When you come back, it’s on you, so you better note it before.</p> \n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: But it’s even more extreme when a homeowner comes back to their home and maybe doesn’t remember that their kid may have made that hole behind the door but all they see is, “I don’t remember it there. I want everything back the way it was, you know, 30 years ago when we bought the home.”</p> \n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: This is my chance to get a renovation! Well, and a lot of people think, film has deep pockets, so it’s like “I’ll just complain and I’ll get something.” But this [usually] isn’t <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_X-Files\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><em>The X-Files</em></a>, this is like some UBC students who came in and shot a short.</p> \n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: I had a funny one maybe four to five years ago where a homeowner claimed that their floors were damaged by the production, which technically they were, but maybe only two or three panels of the wood floors that were damaged.</p> \n<p>So, there is this meeting between the homeowners, the claims adjuster (who works for the insurance company) and the contractor who would be repairing or replacing the floors. They brought it to the attention of the adjuster that the particular floors that were being used in this home are no longer made and they more or less proved to the adjuster that in order to make this homeowner whole, they’re going to have to replace the entire bottom floor of this home with a new floor. Not that unusual, especially in an older home, you’re not going to be able to find that particular floor anymore, especially if it’s real wood.</p> \n<p>But during this discussion, all of a sudden, the teenage son of the homeowners comes in with an entire box of the flooring and says, “Hey guys, guess what, I found all the extra flooring from when the floors were done!” So, what was probably going to be a $30,000 claim (the homeowners were going to get new flooring, they were going to get to pick out the colour, etc.) turned out to be about $300 in labor and wasn’t even an insurance claim at the end.</p> \n<p>&nbsp;</p> \n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span></em> Get a quote for <a href=\"/en/film-production-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">film production insurance here</a>.</p> \n<p>&nbsp;</p> \n<p><strong>Related</strong>:</p> \n<ul> \n <li><a href=\"/michael-groner\" rel=\"noopener\">Mike Groner Bio</a></li> \n <li><a href=\"/articles/most-common-film-insurance-claims\" rel=\"noopener\">Common Film Insurance Claims</a></li> \n <li><a href=\"/articles/how-to-call-a-wrap-on-top-film-insurance-claims\" rel=\"noopener\">How To Call A Wrap On Top Film Insurance Claims</a></li> \n <li><a href=\"/articles/third-party-property-damage-liability\" rel=\"noopener\">Third Party Property Damage Coverage Explained</a></li> \n</ul> \n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Content courtesy of the <a href=\"https://vantropolis.simplecast.com/episodes/vantropolis-mike-groner\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Vantropolis podcast</a></span></p> \n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">About</span>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that specializes in the entertainment industry – specifically, the film industry.

Once a hacker gets their hands on a password, they can use it to compromise employee information as well as customer data, turning a single password breach into millions in damage.<br><br></li>\n<li><strong>Avoid collecting or storing payment information</strong>: Outsource payment processing and avoid collecting customer payment information such as credit card info on your own. Dedicated security staff have the resources and tools to protect data better than you can.<br><br></li>\n<li><strong>Educate your employees</strong>: It may seem like common sense, but it’s not always. Develop a written policy about security &amp; privacy and make sure employees are on board and understand their responsibility to protect confidential data. No business is “too small” for a hacker; the more prepared you are, the less at-risk you are.<br><br></li>\n<li><strong>And, of course, purchase <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\">cyber liability insurance</a>: </strong><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">90% of small businesses do not currently have </span>cyber insurance<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">!&nbsp;</span>You need to know that your business will be protected against any security breaches.</li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px; text-align: left;\"><em><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><br>About:&nbsp;</strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that provides cyber and office insurance for a low cost in addition to arranging custom policies for the entertainment industry.</span></em><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"></span><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"></span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Disclaimer</span>: Informational statements regarding insurance coverage are for general description purposes only.

Well, think again! Just look at the below real-life examples of <strong>film production company hacks</strong> to see how real this threat is:</p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\">The Sony Pictures hack (2014)</h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">In 2014, a hacker group (likely sponsored by the North Korean government) leaked a release of confidential data from Sony Pictures, including personal information about employees and their families, information about executive salaries at the company, copies of then-unreleased films, plans for future films, scripts and other information. Several Sony Twitter accounts were also hacked.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The group demanded the cancellation of the release of Sony’s comedy film <i>The Interview</i> (2014) and, indeed, major cinema chains opted not to screen the film in response to these threats.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Although the film eventually did well through a digital-only release, the cinema chain cancellations amounted to (potentially) millions in lost revenue for Sony. With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber insurance</span></a>, the <strong>business interruption</strong> coverage could cover lost income and related costs.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">If a hacker can breach the defences of a large entertainment company such as Sony Pictures, they can certainly breach a smaller production company, too. Hackers are becoming smarter, making it harder for companies to defend themselves from a data breach.</p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\">The Larson Studios hack (2017)</h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">In 2017, LA-based digital production company Larson Studios was hacked. The hackers apparently purloined 10 episodes of <i>Orange is the New Black</i>, which Larson Studios produces, then demanded ransom to prevent the shows from being released unofficially.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Larson Studios made the difficult decision to wire more than $50,000 USD in extortion money to the hackers. Yet, the unscrupulous hackers <i>still</i> leaked the stolen episodes on a file sharing website more than a month before the show was set to premiere. <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Cyber insurance</span></a> would <strong>cover payments</strong> to those who threaten to disclose sensitive data.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Larson Studios made another expensive decision: to hire private data security experts to find out what happened.

could happen to <i>your</i> production company? Well, think again! Just look at the below real-life examples of <strong>film production company hacks</strong> to see how real this threat is:</p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\">The Sony Pictures hack (2014)</h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">In 2014, a hacker group (likely sponsored by the North Korean government) leaked a release of confidential data from Sony Pictures, including personal information about employees and their families, information about executive salaries at the company, copies of then-unreleased films, plans for future films, scripts and other information. Several Sony Twitter accounts were also hacked.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The group demanded the cancellation of the release of Sony’s comedy film <i>The Interview</i> (2014) and, indeed, major cinema chains opted not to screen the film in response to these threats.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Although the film eventually did well through a digital-only release, the cinema chain cancellations amounted to (potentially) millions in lost revenue for Sony. With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber insurance</span></a>, the <strong>business interruption</strong> coverage could cover lost income and related costs.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">If a hacker can breach the defences of a large entertainment company such as Sony Pictures, they can certainly breach a smaller production company, too. Hackers are becoming smarter, making it harder for companies to defend themselves from a data breach.</p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\">The Larson Studios hack (2017)</h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">In 2017, LA-based digital production company Larson Studios was hacked. The hackers apparently purloined 10 episodes of <i>Orange is the New Black</i>, which Larson Studios produces, then demanded ransom to prevent the shows from being released unofficially.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Larson Studios made the difficult decision to wire more than $50,000 USD in extortion money to the hackers. Yet, the unscrupulous hackers <i>still</i> leaked the stolen episodes on a file sharing website more than a month before the show was set to premiere. <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Cyber insurance</span></a> would <strong>cover payments</strong> to those who threaten to disclose sensitive data.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Larson Studios made another expensive decision: to hire private data security experts to find out what happened.

Well, think again! Just look at the below real-life examples of <strong>film production company hacks</strong> to see how real this threat is:</p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\">The Sony Pictures hack (2014)</h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">In 2014, a hacker group (likely sponsored by the North Korean government) leaked a release of confidential data from Sony Pictures, including personal information about employees and their families, information about executive salaries at the company, copies of then-unreleased films, plans for future films, scripts and other information. Several Sony Twitter accounts were also hacked.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The group demanded the cancellation of the release of Sony’s comedy film <i>The Interview</i> (2014) and, indeed, major cinema chains opted not to screen the film in response to these threats.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Although the film eventually did well through a digital-only release, the cinema chain cancellations amounted to (potentially) millions in lost revenue for Sony. With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber insurance</span></a>, the <strong>business interruption</strong> coverage could cover lost income and related costs.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">If a hacker can breach the defences of a large entertainment company such as Sony Pictures, they can certainly breach a smaller production company, too. Hackers are becoming smarter, making it harder for companies to defend themselves from a data breach.</p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\">The Larson Studios hack (2017)</h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">In 2017, LA-based digital production company Larson Studios was hacked. The hackers apparently purloined 10 episodes of <i>Orange is the New Black</i>, which Larson Studios produces, then demanded ransom to prevent the shows from being released unofficially.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Larson Studios made the difficult decision to wire more than $50,000 USD in extortion money to the hackers. Yet, the unscrupulous hackers <i>still</i> leaked the stolen episodes on a file sharing website more than a month before the show was set to premiere. <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Cyber insurance</span></a> would <strong>cover payments</strong> to those who threaten to disclose sensitive data.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Larson Studios made another expensive decision: to hire private data security experts to find out what happened. With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber liability insurance</span></a>, the cost of a <strong>forensic investigation</strong> is included in the policy.</p>\n<h2 class=\"p4\">What is cyber liability insurance?</h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Cyber hack insurance</strong></span><strong> for filmmakers</strong></a> is designed to protect them from certain losses associated with data breaches and hacks. After a hack, there are costs you may incur, including (but not limited to):</p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\">notifying customers that their information has been stolen</li>\n<li class=\"li2\">paying to restore or recover the stolen data</li>\n<li class=\"li2\">paying to conduct an investigation to determine what happened</li>\n<li class=\"li2\">losing money from business interruption</li>\n</ul>\n<h2 class=\"p4\">How can cyber insurance help filmmakers and film producers?</h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Hack insurance</span> can help with expenses associated with managing a hack, such as incident response and data recovery expenses.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Not only is your work stored on your computer(s), you may also have accounting, employee and/or client personal information on there.

Well, think again!</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Perhaps the fastest-growing cybersecurity threat in Canada right now is ransomware, a type of malware (malicious software) that uses sophisticated encryption to block access to a computer, network and/or data until a sum of money is paid.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ransoms typically range from $800 to $5,000 (but sometimes <i>much</i> more), as most cybercriminals are aware that a business can’t operate without its computer system or important client data and the fee is just manageable enough for most companies to pay.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Just look at the below real-life examples of <strong>ransomware attacks on small businesses</strong> to see how real this threat is:</p>\n<h3>Toronto Accounting Firm Ransomware Hack (2020) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">An accounting firm based in Toronto was hit by ransomware in 2020. The ransomware encrypted various confidential reports, including an expense form from one of the firm’s main partners.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Additionally, the hackers stole some documents and auctioned them off on the dark web. Typically, hackers auction off such data to increase pressure on victim companies to pay up for decryption keys.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber insurance</span></a>, <strong>theft and fraud coverage</strong> is included to cover destruction or loss of digital data resulting from a criminal cyber event.</p>\n<h3>Toronto Dental Clinic Ransomware Hack (2019) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Also in 2019, an anonymous Toronto dental clinic was hit by the Ryuk ransomware attack. <i></i>The ransomware locked staff out of digital files for at least a day and they had to take notes on paper. The dentist said files on 19 out of the clinic's 22 computers became encrypted.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The hacker initially demanded nine bitcoins (nearly $100,000) to decrypt the dental clinic’s files, but later increased that price to 15 bitcoins ($165,000). The dentist opted not to pay the ransom because they had a good backup in place.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber liability insurance</span></a>, the cost of a <strong>forensic investigation</strong> may be included to determine how, exactly, a hack occurred, and to assess the impact of the attack. (Determination of whether or not a forensic investigation will be triggered depends on the circumstances of each claim.)</p>\n<h3>Montreal Insurance Brokerage Ransomware Hack (2016) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">An insurance brokerage based in Montreal experienced a ransomware attack in early 2016. A mysterious error message began appearing on their system: <i>“The system cannot access the database.”</i> Upon consulting their IT firm, it was discovered that ransomware had been installed onto the brokerage’s system through an email attachment that an unsuspecting employee had opened. The ransomware had encrypted all the brokerage’s client data, including emails, PDFs and other policy documents, rendering the data completely inaccessible until a sum of money was paid – $2,300 CAD.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">“To deal with the ransomware, I called my tech support team and we had backed up our data, but unfortunately it wasn’t completely up-to-date; the latest backup was six weeks in the past,” recalled the brokerage President. “It was important for us to retrieve the latest data, so I made the difficult decision to pay the ransom. It came down to paying $2,300 or losing six weeks of work, so I chose the former.”</p>\n<h3>Why ransomware hackers use Bitcoin:</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">The ransomware attacker insisted the brokerage pay via the digital currency system Bitcoin in order to make the payment untraceable. Due to the elaborate software architecture that stands behind this currency, which uses cryptography to secure transactions, it is extremely difficult to find out who is actually exchanging the Bitcoins, much less what they’re selling.</p>\n<h3>Ransomware Prevention | Ransomware Remediation | Ransomware Protection Tips</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">So, what should other companies do to avoid the same thorny situations as mentioned in the above real-life examples? Maintaining an on-site <strong>data backup solution</strong> is certainly prudent; however, these backups must be frequent and thorough to be effective, and relying solely on local backups is generally inadvisable. Companies could also implement a backup in the cloud, which means sending copies of data to at least one secure off-site server. Leaders in the cloud backup space include Dropbox, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But, of course, the best approach is to avoid being infected with ransomware in the first place. <strong>Educate employees</strong> about how to recognize suspicious emails. As the primary installation source of ransomware is online advertisements, according to security firm Symantec, be careful about clicking on Internet ads.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Most software products have different <strong>authorization levels</strong> that can be customized; business owners should take advantage of this feature to create different access levels for employees, giving each employee access only to the areas they need for their work, and restricting them from the others.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And, of course, don’t neglect the basics: make sure your <strong>antivirus software</strong> is regularly updated and your systems are regularly patched. A multi-layered defense comprised of a next-generation firewall (NGFW) will reduce the number of successful ransomware attacks on your internal network. NGFWs can cost under $1,000 and leaders in this space include Palo Alto, Cisco, Barracuda and Juniper.</p>\n<h3>Get Ransomware Insurance / Cyber Insurance / Cyber Liability Insurance / Cyber Risk Insurance</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Front Row’s cyber liability insurance policy</span></a> includes <strong>Extortion &amp; Ransomware coverage</strong> for costs associated with payments to those who threaten to disclose sensitive information.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Protect your data and your clients' data. <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Front Row's cyber insurance policy</strong></span></a> is available now; contact Front Row for a cyber insurance quote.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>90% of small businesses in Canada do not have Cyber Insurance:</i> take a few minutes to protect your business that has taken you so long to establish.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">&nbsp;</p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><i>About</i></strong><i>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that provides cyber insurance for a very low cost.

Ransomware, You’ll Want Cyber Insurance</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Don’t think a ransomware hack could happen to <i>your</i> small business? Well, think again!</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Perhaps the fastest-growing cybersecurity threat in Canada right now is ransomware, a type of malware (malicious software) that uses sophisticated encryption to block access to a computer, network and/or data until a sum of money is paid.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ransoms typically range from $800 to $5,000 (but sometimes <i>much</i> more), as most cybercriminals are aware that a business can’t operate without its computer system or important client data and the fee is just manageable enough for most companies to pay.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Just look at the below real-life examples of <strong>ransomware attacks on small businesses</strong> to see how real this threat is:</p>\n<h3>Toronto Accounting Firm Ransomware Hack (2020) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">An accounting firm based in Toronto was hit by ransomware in 2020. The ransomware encrypted various confidential reports, including an expense form from one of the firm’s main partners.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Additionally, the hackers stole some documents and auctioned them off on the dark web. Typically, hackers auction off such data to increase pressure on victim companies to pay up for decryption keys.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber insurance</span></a>, <strong>theft and fraud coverage</strong> is included to cover destruction or loss of digital data resulting from a criminal cyber event.</p>\n<h3>Toronto Dental Clinic Ransomware Hack (2019) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Also in 2019, an anonymous Toronto dental clinic was hit by the Ryuk ransomware attack. <i></i>The ransomware locked staff out of digital files for at least a day and they had to take notes on paper. The dentist said files on 19 out of the clinic's 22 computers became encrypted.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The hacker initially demanded nine bitcoins (nearly $100,000) to decrypt the dental clinic’s files, but later increased that price to 15 bitcoins ($165,000). The dentist opted not to pay the ransom because they had a good backup in place.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber liability insurance</span></a>, the cost of a <strong>forensic investigation</strong> may be included to determine how, exactly, a hack occurred, and to assess the impact of the attack. (Determination of whether or not a forensic investigation will be triggered depends on the circumstances of each claim.)</p>\n<h3>Montreal Insurance Brokerage Ransomware Hack (2016) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">An insurance brokerage based in Montreal experienced a ransomware attack in early 2016. A mysterious error message began appearing on their system: <i>“The system cannot access the database.”</i> Upon consulting their IT firm, it was discovered that ransomware had been installed onto the brokerage’s system through an email attachment that an unsuspecting employee had opened. The ransomware had encrypted all the brokerage’s client data, including emails, PDFs and other policy documents, rendering the data completely inaccessible until a sum of money was paid – $2,300 CAD.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">“To deal with the ransomware, I called my tech support team and we had backed up our data, but unfortunately it wasn’t completely up-to-date; the latest backup was six weeks in the past,” recalled the brokerage President. “It was important for us to retrieve the latest data, so I made the difficult decision to pay the ransom. It came down to paying $2,300 or losing six weeks of work, so I chose the former.”</p>\n<h3>Why ransomware hackers use Bitcoin:</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">The ransomware attacker insisted the brokerage pay via the digital currency system Bitcoin in order to make the payment untraceable. Due to the elaborate software architecture that stands behind this currency, which uses cryptography to secure transactions, it is extremely difficult to find out who is actually exchanging the Bitcoins, much less what they’re selling.</p>\n<h3>Ransomware Prevention | Ransomware Remediation | Ransomware Protection Tips</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">So, what should other companies do to avoid the same thorny situations as mentioned in the above real-life examples? Maintaining an on-site <strong>data backup solution</strong> is certainly prudent; however, these backups must be frequent and thorough to be effective, and relying solely on local backups is generally inadvisable. Companies could also implement a backup in the cloud, which means sending copies of data to at least one secure off-site server. Leaders in the cloud backup space include Dropbox, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But, of course, the best approach is to avoid being infected with ransomware in the first place. <strong>Educate employees</strong> about how to recognize suspicious emails. As the primary installation source of ransomware is online advertisements, according to security firm Symantec, be careful about clicking on Internet ads.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Most software products have different <strong>authorization levels</strong> that can be customized; business owners should take advantage of this feature to create different access levels for employees, giving each employee access only to the areas they need for their work, and restricting them from the others.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And, of course, don’t neglect the basics: make sure your <strong>antivirus software</strong> is regularly updated and your systems are regularly patched. A multi-layered defense comprised of a next-generation firewall (NGFW) will reduce the number of successful ransomware attacks on your internal network. NGFWs can cost under $1,000 and leaders in this space include Palo Alto, Cisco, Barracuda and Juniper.</p>\n<h3>Get Ransomware Insurance / Cyber Insurance / Cyber Liability Insurance / Cyber Risk Insurance</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Front Row’s cyber liability insurance policy</span></a> includes <strong>Extortion &amp; Ransomware coverage</strong> for costs associated with payments to those who threaten to disclose sensitive information.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Protect your data and your clients' data. <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Front Row's cyber insurance policy</strong></span></a> is available now; contact Front Row for a cyber insurance quote.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>90% of small businesses in Canada do not have Cyber Insurance:</i> take a few minutes to protect your business that has taken you so long to establish.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">&nbsp;</p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><i>About</i></strong><i>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that provides cyber insurance for a very low cost.

Well, think again!</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Perhaps the fastest-growing cybersecurity threat in Canada right now is ransomware, a type of malware (malicious software) that uses sophisticated encryption to block access to a computer, network and/or data until a sum of money is paid.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ransoms typically range from $800 to $5,000 (but sometimes <i>much</i> more), as most cybercriminals are aware that a business can’t operate without its computer system or important client data and the fee is just manageable enough for most companies to pay.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Just look at the below real-life examples of <strong>ransomware attacks on small businesses</strong> to see how real this threat is:</p>\n<h3>Toronto Accounting Firm Ransomware Hack (2020) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">An accounting firm based in Toronto was hit by ransomware in 2020. The ransomware encrypted various confidential reports, including an expense form from one of the firm’s main partners.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Additionally, the hackers stole some documents and auctioned them off on the dark web. Typically, hackers auction off such data to increase pressure on victim companies to pay up for decryption keys.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber insurance</span></a>, <strong>theft and fraud coverage</strong> is included to cover destruction or loss of digital data resulting from a criminal cyber event.</p>\n<h3>Toronto Dental Clinic Ransomware Hack (2019) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Also in 2019, an anonymous Toronto dental clinic was hit by the Ryuk ransomware attack. <i></i>The ransomware locked staff out of digital files for at least a day and they had to take notes on paper. The dentist said files on 19 out of the clinic's 22 computers became encrypted.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The hacker initially demanded nine bitcoins (nearly $100,000) to decrypt the dental clinic’s files, but later increased that price to 15 bitcoins ($165,000). The dentist opted not to pay the ransom because they had a good backup in place.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">cyber liability insurance</span></a>, the cost of a <strong>forensic investigation</strong> may be included to determine how, exactly, a hack occurred, and to assess the impact of the attack. (Determination of whether or not a forensic investigation will be triggered depends on the circumstances of each claim.)</p>\n<h3>Montreal Insurance Brokerage Ransomware Hack (2016) / Who does ransomware target?</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">An insurance brokerage based in Montreal experienced a ransomware attack in early 2016. A mysterious error message began appearing on their system: <i>“The system cannot access the database.”</i> Upon consulting their IT firm, it was discovered that ransomware had been installed onto the brokerage’s system through an email attachment that an unsuspecting employee had opened. The ransomware had encrypted all the brokerage’s client data, including emails, PDFs and other policy documents, rendering the data completely inaccessible until a sum of money was paid – $2,300 CAD.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">“To deal with the ransomware, I called my tech support team and we had backed up our data, but unfortunately it wasn’t completely up-to-date; the latest backup was six weeks in the past,” recalled the brokerage President. “It was important for us to retrieve the latest data, so I made the difficult decision to pay the ransom. It came down to paying $2,300 or losing six weeks of work, so I chose the former.”</p>\n<h3>Why ransomware hackers use Bitcoin:</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">The ransomware attacker insisted the brokerage pay via the digital currency system Bitcoin in order to make the payment untraceable. Due to the elaborate software architecture that stands behind this currency, which uses cryptography to secure transactions, it is extremely difficult to find out who is actually exchanging the Bitcoins, much less what they’re selling.</p>\n<h3>Ransomware Prevention | Ransomware Remediation | Ransomware Protection Tips</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">So, what should other companies do to avoid the same thorny situations as mentioned in the above real-life examples? Maintaining an on-site <strong>data backup solution</strong> is certainly prudent; however, these backups must be frequent and thorough to be effective, and relying solely on local backups is generally inadvisable. Companies could also implement a backup in the cloud, which means sending copies of data to at least one secure off-site server. Leaders in the cloud backup space include Dropbox, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But, of course, the best approach is to avoid being infected with ransomware in the first place. <strong>Educate employees</strong> about how to recognize suspicious emails. As the primary installation source of ransomware is online advertisements, according to security firm Symantec, be careful about clicking on Internet ads.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Most software products have different <strong>authorization levels</strong> that can be customized; business owners should take advantage of this feature to create different access levels for employees, giving each employee access only to the areas they need for their work, and restricting them from the others.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And, of course, don’t neglect the basics: make sure your <strong>antivirus software</strong> is regularly updated and your systems are regularly patched. A multi-layered defense comprised of a next-generation firewall (NGFW) will reduce the number of successful ransomware attacks on your internal network. NGFWs can cost under $1,000 and leaders in this space include Palo Alto, Cisco, Barracuda and Juniper.</p>\n<h3>Get Ransomware Insurance / Cyber Insurance / Cyber Liability Insurance / Cyber Risk Insurance</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Front Row’s cyber liability insurance policy</span></a> includes <strong>Extortion &amp; Ransomware coverage</strong> for costs associated with payments to those who threaten to disclose sensitive information.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Protect your data and your clients' data. <a href=\"/cyber-liability-insurance-canada\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Front Row's cyber insurance policy</strong></span></a> is available now; contact Front Row for a cyber insurance quote.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>90% of small businesses in Canada do not have Cyber Insurance:</i> take a few minutes to protect your business that has taken you so long to establish.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">&nbsp;</p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><i>About</i></strong><i>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that provides cyber insurance for a very low cost.

Oftentimes, I suggest to producers that before they start filming or planning anything, that they read an E&amp;O application to see what it says about what they will eventually need to get insurance.</p>\n<!--more-->\n<p>One of the music questions [on an E&amp;O application] relates to whether you have tried to get permission but were unsuccessful. It’s important to be truthful with respect to every question on the application, including a situation in which you’ve tried to get consent for a song but you haven’t been able to. So, if I’m reading an application before it gets sent to an insurance broker, and if you’ve answered, “yes, you’ve tried to get a song cleared but were unable to,” I would say, “hold up a second, what’s the situation here? Are we trying to get consent still? Did someone say no but you’re using it anyway?” Based on the circumstances, we probably want to deal with this before we’re talking to the insurer about it.</p>\n<p>If you haven’t got consent and you’re not going to get it, perhaps you’re not going to use that song. Let’s just remove that point from our application because if you’re not going to use the song anymore, it’s no longer relevant. If you’re still trying to get permission and they’re pushing back, you’re negotiating but you need your insurance ASAP, then it’s, “OK, let’s put that in there. You’re having trouble getting consent but let’s explain the situation, namely, you’re not going to put the song in the movie if you don’t get consent.”</p>\n<p>So, it’s an interesting question in the application and it’s important to be truthful with your lawyer and insurance broker about such things. Generally speaking, if you’re not able to get consent, you’re not going to use the song in the production, but it’s important for everyone to be aware of where you’re at in the process when you’re applying to get E&amp;O insurance.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&amp;O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/answer-all-questions-on-eo-application\">Why do you need to answer ALL the questions on an E&amp;O application?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/who-can-give-consent-to-have-music-be-in-a-film\" rel=\"noopener\">Who can give consent to have music be in a film?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer's E&amp;O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><strong>eBook</strong>: <a href=\"/errors-omissions-insurance-101\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer's E&amp;O Insurance 101</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Byron Pascoe's film producer's E&amp;O videos</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

Pascoe</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">Producer’s errors and omissions (E&amp;O) insurance</a> applications have a lot of questions and they are important questions to consider. Oftentimes, I suggest to producers that before they start filming or planning anything, that they read an E&amp;O application to see what it says about what they will eventually need to get insurance.</p>\n<!--more-->\n<p>One of the music questions [on an E&amp;O application] relates to whether you have tried to get permission but were unsuccessful. It’s important to be truthful with respect to every question on the application, including a situation in which you’ve tried to get consent for a song but you haven’t been able to. So, if I’m reading an application before it gets sent to an insurance broker, and if you’ve answered, “yes, you’ve tried to get a song cleared but were unable to,” I would say, “hold up a second, what’s the situation here? Are we trying to get consent still? Did someone say no but you’re using it anyway?” Based on the circumstances, we probably want to deal with this before we’re talking to the insurer about it.</p>\n<p>If you haven’t got consent and you’re not going to get it, perhaps you’re not going to use that song. Let’s just remove that point from our application because if you’re not going to use the song anymore, it’s no longer relevant. If you’re still trying to get permission and they’re pushing back, you’re negotiating but you need your insurance ASAP, then it’s, “OK, let’s put that in there. You’re having trouble getting consent but let’s explain the situation, namely, you’re not going to put the song in the movie if you don’t get consent.”</p>\n<p>So, it’s an interesting question in the application and it’s important to be truthful with your lawyer and insurance broker about such things. Generally speaking, if you’re not able to get consent, you’re not going to use the song in the production, but it’s important for everyone to be aware of where you’re at in the process when you’re applying to get E&amp;O insurance.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&amp;O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/answer-all-questions-on-eo-application\">Why do you need to answer ALL the questions on an E&amp;O application?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/who-can-give-consent-to-have-music-be-in-a-film\" rel=\"noopener\">Who can give consent to have music be in a film?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer's E&amp;O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><strong>eBook</strong>: <a href=\"/errors-omissions-insurance-101\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer's E&amp;O Insurance 101</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Byron Pascoe's film producer's E&amp;O videos</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

Oftentimes, I suggest to producers that before they start filming or planning anything, that they read an E&amp;O application to see what it says about what they will eventually need to get insurance.</p>\n<!--more-->\n<p>One of the music questions [on an E&amp;O application] relates to whether you have tried to get permission but were unsuccessful. It’s important to be truthful with respect to every question on the application, including a situation in which you’ve tried to get consent for a song but you haven’t been able to. So, if I’m reading an application before it gets sent to an insurance broker, and if you’ve answered, “yes, you’ve tried to get a song cleared but were unable to,” I would say, “hold up a second, what’s the situation here? Are we trying to get consent still? Did someone say no but you’re using it anyway?” Based on the circumstances, we probably want to deal with this before we’re talking to the insurer about it.</p>\n<p>If you haven’t got consent and you’re not going to get it, perhaps you’re not going to use that song. Let’s just remove that point from our application because if you’re not going to use the song anymore, it’s no longer relevant. If you’re still trying to get permission and they’re pushing back, you’re negotiating but you need your insurance ASAP, then it’s, “OK, let’s put that in there. You’re having trouble getting consent but let’s explain the situation, namely, you’re not going to put the song in the movie if you don’t get consent.”</p>\n<p>So, it’s an interesting question in the application and it’s important to be truthful with your lawyer and insurance broker about such things. Generally speaking, if you’re not able to get consent, you’re not going to use the song in the production, but it’s important for everyone to be aware of where you’re at in the process when you’re applying to get E&amp;O insurance.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Byron Pascoe</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Edwards Creative Law</em></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span> Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\">producer’s E&amp;O insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/answer-all-questions-on-eo-application\">Why do you need to answer ALL the questions on an E&amp;O application?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/who-can-give-consent-to-have-music-be-in-a-film\" rel=\"noopener\">Who can give consent to have music be in a film?</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/27709/film-eo-insurance-clearances-procedures-for-film-producers-part-1-of-3\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer's E&amp;O clearance procedures</a></li>\n<li><strong>eBook</strong>: <a href=\"/errors-omissions-insurance-101\" rel=\"noopener\">Producer's E&amp;O Insurance 101</a></li>\n<li><strong>YouTube</strong>: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJtqQkUwXbiiN5OPy3Xv2AcutMxzQhKyn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Byron Pascoe's film producer's E&amp;O videos</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><strong>About</strong>: </span><a href=\"https://edwardslaw.ca/\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Edwards Creative Law</a><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> - Canada's Entertainment Law Boutique™</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">We’re entertainment lawyers who understand the business of creative industries.

In 1973, while the younger Getty was working as an extra on the set of a movie in Rome, he was kidnapped by a criminal organization known as the \"Ndrangheta\" and held for ransom.

Paul Getty Sr., who was one of the wealthiest men in the world at the time, initially refused to pay the ransom, leading to a prolonged and highly publicized ordeal. Getty Sr. had taken out a K&amp;R insurance policy in anticipation of something like this happening to a family member. The kidnappers initially demanded $17 million for his grandson’s release, but Getty Sr. offered to pay only $2.2 million, the maximum amount covered by the K&amp;R policy. After further negotiations, Getty Sr. agreed to pay $3.2 million, and his grandson was released after being held for more than five months.</p>\n<p>Hopefully, such a situation never occurs on your film/TV set, but if it does, having K&amp;R insurance in place would be very helpful because the policy can include ransom payments.

In 1973, while the younger Getty was working as an extra on the set of a movie in Rome, he was kidnapped by a criminal organization known as the \"Ndrangheta\" and held for ransom. This kidnapping was dramatized in the movie <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_the_Money_in_the_World\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">All the Money in the World</span></a> (2017).</p>\n<p>His grandfather, J. Paul Getty Sr., who was one of the wealthiest men in the world at the time, initially refused to pay the ransom, leading to a prolonged and highly publicized ordeal. Getty Sr. had taken out a K&amp;R insurance policy in anticipation of something like this happening to a family member. The kidnappers initially demanded $17 million for his grandson’s release, but Getty Sr. offered to pay only $2.2 million, the maximum amount covered by the K&amp;R policy. After further negotiations, Getty Sr. agreed to pay $3.2 million, and his grandson was released after being held for more than five months.</p>\n<p>Hopefully, such a situation never occurs on your film/TV set, but if it does, having K&amp;R insurance in place would be very helpful because the policy can include ransom payments.

Row.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike Groner</strong>: Sure, we are an entertainment brokerage; we’re primarily based in Canada (main offices in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal) and then we have offices in New York, LA, Colorado and Florida. So, we’re on both sides of the border. We do 100% entertainment. Of that, probably 80% is for the film industry and then we also do live theatre, touring and other entertainment-related risk. We don’t do “any and all” things insurance; you’re not going to come to us for your auto or home insurance, for example.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: And just to be clear: you’re brokers, right? So, that’s different than insurance companies (insurers). You’re negotiating with the insurers to obtain solutions for your clients.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: That’s correct, we do not work for the insurance companies; we work for the production companies and producers. So, we work on their behalf to get them the best possible insurance coverage at the best price.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: Kind of like a mortgage broker would be, right? You’re representing the production to the insurance companies.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: We really do become part of the crew. I mean, we’re interacting with the producers, filmmakers and location managers on a daily basis from three- or four-weeks during prep all the way to delivery to the broadcasters. So, we’re playing a role as one of the crew members.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: And all sizes of production, right? $2,000 to $200 million budgets, right?</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: Yes, we do everything from a student film shooting for two days on a weekend to $150 million large-scale TV series and everything in between.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: That’s good to know because if you’re an indie filmmaker and you don’t know where to start, some might think that a corporate entity as large as Front Row might not give them the time of day.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: We try to make it as easy as possible for a new filmmaker to obtain insurance. Usually, they don’t even consider the need for insurance until they walk up to an <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/equipment-rental-house-insurance\">equipment vendor</a> and the vendor asks, <em>“where is your insurance? We’re not giving you the camera without your insurance.”</em> For that purpose, we’ve created automated solutions (such as <a href=\"https://shortshoot.frontrowinsurance.com/\">short shoot insurance</a>) where a filmmaker can go online and purchase insurance on their phone while standing at the desk of a vendor, hand over the certificate and walk out with the equipment.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: Insurance can be daunting and it’s this big scary corporate word and you’re like <em>“ohh, I don’t know, what do I pay, it’s going to cost so much money and if I want to insure this little thing I’m doing, it’s going to be thousands of dollars”</em> but I realized on your site that that’s just not the case. It can be quite efficient and reasonable and provides a lot of peace of mind.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: Absolutely, and the fact is, most people don’t buy insurance until they have to have it, until someone tells them, <em>“you can’t shoot here unless you have location insurance and you can’t take out this camera unless you have property insurance.” </em>And that’s why we’ve made it so easy and most film packages come with a minimum million-dollar limit for equipment but, you know, a UBC student who is renting a $20,000 camera doesn’t need a million of equipment coverage; s/he needs $20,000 of coverage. So, we made short shoot insurance allows them to just buy what they need for the number of days they need it, and that’s all they’re charged for.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: Yeah, so kids, do it. Get the insurance, don’t cut corners. Gear has come way down too; I remember when camera packages were way more than a lot of them are now. We’ve come a long way with technology.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: We have, although there is still a chip shortage, and inventory shortage out there as a result of COVID, but hopefully that’s going to fix itself over the next six- to eight-months and everyone’s inventories will be replenished.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US? </span>Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/film-production-insurance\">film production insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/michael-groner\" rel=\"noopener\">Mike Groner Bio</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/80676/digital-film-insurance-and-the-future\" rel=\"noopener\">Digital Film Insurance and the Future | Digital Media Insurance</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/most-common-film-insurance-claims\" rel=\"noopener\">Common Film Insurance Claims</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/civil-authority-coverage-explained\" rel=\"noopener\">Civil Authority Coverage for Film Productions</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Content courtesy of the </span><a href=\"https://vantropolis.simplecast.com/episodes/vantropolis-mike-groner\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Vantropolis podcast</a></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">About</span>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that specializes in the entertainment industry – specifically, the film industry.

So, we’re on both sides of the border. We do 100% entertainment. Of that, probably 80% is for the film industry and then we also do live theatre, touring and other entertainment-related risk. We don’t do “any and all” things insurance; you’re not going to come to us for your auto or home insurance, for example.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: And just to be clear: you’re brokers, right? So, that’s different than insurance companies (insurers). You’re negotiating with the insurers to obtain solutions for your clients.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: That’s correct, we do not work for the insurance companies; we work for the production companies and producers. So, we work on their behalf to get them the best possible insurance coverage at the best price.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: Kind of like a mortgage broker would be, right? You’re representing the production to the insurance companies.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: We really do become part of the crew. I mean, we’re interacting with the producers, filmmakers and location managers on a daily basis from three- or four-weeks during prep all the way to delivery to the broadcasters. So, we’re playing a role as one of the crew members.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: And all sizes of production, right? $2,000 to $200 million budgets, right?</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: Yes, we do everything from a student film shooting for two days on a weekend to $150 million large-scale TV series and everything in between.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: That’s good to know because if you’re an indie filmmaker and you don’t know where to start, some might think that a corporate entity as large as Front Row might not give them the time of day.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: We try to make it as easy as possible for a new filmmaker to obtain insurance. Usually, they don’t even consider the need for insurance until they walk up to an <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/equipment-rental-house-insurance\">equipment vendor</a> and the vendor asks, <em>“where is your insurance? We’re not giving you the camera without your insurance.”</em> For that purpose, we’ve created automated solutions (such as <a href=\"https://shortshoot.frontrowinsurance.com/\">short shoot insurance</a>) where a filmmaker can go online and purchase insurance on their phone while standing at the desk of a vendor, hand over the certificate and walk out with the equipment.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: Insurance can be daunting and it’s this big scary corporate word and you’re like <em>“ohh, I don’t know, what do I pay, it’s going to cost so much money and if I want to insure this little thing I’m doing, it’s going to be thousands of dollars”</em> but I realized on your site that that’s just not the case. It can be quite efficient and reasonable and provides a lot of peace of mind.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: Absolutely, and the fact is, most people don’t buy insurance until they have to have it, until someone tells them, <em>“you can’t shoot here unless you have location insurance and you can’t take out this camera unless you have property insurance.” </em>And that’s why we’ve made it so easy and most film packages come with a minimum million-dollar limit for equipment but, you know, a UBC student who is renting a $20,000 camera doesn’t need a million of equipment coverage; s/he needs $20,000 of coverage. So, we made short shoot insurance allows them to just buy what they need for the number of days they need it, and that’s all they’re charged for.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: Yeah, so kids, do it. Get the insurance, don’t cut corners. Gear has come way down too; I remember when camera packages were way more than a lot of them are now. We’ve come a long way with technology.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: We have, although there is still a chip shortage, and inventory shortage out there as a result of COVID, but hopefully that’s going to fix itself over the next six- to eight-months and everyone’s inventories will be replenished.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US? </span>Get a quote for <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/film-production-insurance\">film production insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/michael-groner\" rel=\"noopener\">Mike Groner Bio</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/80676/digital-film-insurance-and-the-future\" rel=\"noopener\">Digital Film Insurance and the Future | Digital Media Insurance</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/most-common-film-insurance-claims\" rel=\"noopener\">Common Film Insurance Claims</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/civil-authority-coverage-explained\" rel=\"noopener\">Civil Authority Coverage for Film Productions</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Content courtesy of the </span><a href=\"https://vantropolis.simplecast.com/episodes/vantropolis-mike-groner\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" style=\"font-style: italic;\">Vantropolis podcast</a></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">About</span>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that specializes in the entertainment industry – specifically, the film industry.

If they are deceased, I’d recommend the production to reach out to the estate of the deceased because their estate would have obtained the rights of publicity from the deceased on the date of passing.</p>\n<p>So, if they want to reference and exploit an individual’s likeness, personality, image (even though they have passed), they would need to obtain those rights from the estate directly.</p>\n<p>There is the component of <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>public domain</strong></a>, which is a term that is not often understood and it varies by country. In Canada now, <a href=\"/articles/how-do-fair-dealing-and-public-domain-apply-to-music\" rel=\"noopener\">public domain</a> is any individual, company or event would be free to basically use/reference/exploit as needed, provided the owner of that work has passed <em>plus 75 years after the date of passing has also elapsed</em>.</p>\n<p>So, after that period of time, something is public domain: if someone were to reference (positively or negatively) an historical character, you would be able to do that because it’s safely in the public domain.

href=\"/articles/articles/bid/111284/risk-assessments-for-film-productions\" rel=\"noopener\">risk</a>. The general rule is: any time that a producer or individual is using someone else’s IP, or their image or likeness, any intellectual property rights that belong to someone else (<em>i.e., </em>a third-party entity), the producer needs their permission to do so.</p>\n<p>There are some exceptions to that; that’s how productions get made. A production, a feature film, a TV series – you want it to seem like it’s part of society, there might be some incidental references but there are some exceptions to that. In Canada, we have an exemption to copyright infringement called <a href=\"/articles/fair-use-vs.-fair-dealing\" rel=\"noopener\">fair dealing</a>. In the US, it’s known as <a href=\"/articles/filmmakers-insurance-part-i\" rel=\"noopener\">fair use</a>. This is basically a series of tests; if you complete it, there is a chance that you would be able to rely on the exception to <a href=\"/articles/copyright-reports-use-them-to-minimize-the-potential-of-a-producers-eo-claim\" rel=\"noopener\">copyright infringement</a> so you could potentially use that material without a third-party claim. You would have a “legal right” to use that material.</p>\n<p>There is also <a href=\"/articles/what-is-incidental-inclusion\" rel=\"noopener\">incidental use</a>. So, if a brand or <a href=\"/articles/what-is-a-trade-mark\" rel=\"noopener\">logo</a> or individual is caught on camera incidentally – maybe a split second, not in focus, should be permissible to use but it’s really a question of risk. Sometimes, something comes up in a <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/26544/script-insurance-clearance-reports-what-are-they-and-why-are-they-important\" rel=\"noopener\">script clearance report</a> or rough cut; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">e.g.,</span> if I’m reviewing a script clearance report and there is a list of <a href=\"/articles/why-do-fictional-character-names-need-to-be-researched\" rel=\"noopener\">names</a>, the report will tell me how many individuals have that first and last name in the area, province, city, etc. Maybe there is one with the same job as the character which is being portrayed. We want to make sure that we avoid any similarities, especially if there is a negative inference or connotation with that character or anything that could potentially damage someone’s <a href=\"/articles/eo-clearance-process-claims-of-libel\" rel=\"noopener\">reputation</a>, we need to be mindful of that risk.</p>\n<p>There are things above and beyond a script clearance that you’ll see in a rough cut (or maybe not even in a rough cut) that an entertainment lawyer needs to be able to flag. <em>E.g.,</em> if there is a scene with two kids hanging out in a bedroom:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>What does the bedroom look like?</li>\n<li>Is there poster art?</li>\n<li>Are the kids wearing t-shirts or shoes with logos on them?</li>\n<li>Are there iPhones in the shot?</li>\n<li>Other third-party technology with logos showing?</li>\n<li>Would a reasonable person know that that technology belongs to a particular third-party entity?</li>\n<li>How much of it is in focus, are they talking about it, is there a positive or negative reference to it?</li>\n</ul>\n<p><em>E.g.,</em> a kid running away from a bullying scene wearing a pair of Nike shoes, there might be a negative connotation associated with that, so we need to be mindful of the risk and if there is a risk, and if we don’t feel confident that it would meet any type of exemption to copyright infringement, or fair dealing test or incidental use reference, we need to ask that third party for permission.</p>\n<p>Maybe that permission comes with some sort of monetary compensation for them but some type of release would ultimately need to be signed. So, it’s really a question of risk and the goal of an entertainment lawyer is ideally to get risk to zero but practically to just reduce the risk as much as possible.</p>\n<p>When it comes to these exemption to copyright infringement tests, such as fair dealing, that is a defence mechanism. So, even if you go through these tests and you’re confident that you can meet those thresholds, you can’t exactly hold it out as a waving flag and say, <em>“We’re fine, we’ve passed these tests, we can now move forward to production!” </em>There is always a possibility that an entity might sue the production or might in some way try to interfere with the exploitation of that project.

The general rule is: any time that a producer or individual is using someone else’s IP, or their image or likeness, any intellectual property rights that belong to someone else (<em>i.e., </em>a third-party entity), the producer needs their permission to do so.</p>\n<p>There are some exceptions to that; that’s how productions get made. A production, a feature film, a TV series – you want it to seem like it’s part of society, there might be some incidental references but there are some exceptions to that. In Canada, we have an exemption to copyright infringement called <a href=\"/articles/fair-use-vs.-fair-dealing\" rel=\"noopener\">fair dealing</a>. In the US, it’s known as <a href=\"/articles/filmmakers-insurance-part-i\" rel=\"noopener\">fair use</a>. This is basically a series of tests; if you complete it, there is a chance that you would be able to rely on the exception to <a href=\"/articles/copyright-reports-use-them-to-minimize-the-potential-of-a-producers-eo-claim\" rel=\"noopener\">copyright infringement</a> so you could potentially use that material without a third-party claim. You would have a “legal right” to use that material.</p>\n<p>There is also <a href=\"/articles/what-is-incidental-inclusion\" rel=\"noopener\">incidental use</a>. So, if a brand or <a href=\"/articles/what-is-a-trade-mark\" rel=\"noopener\">logo</a> or individual is caught on camera incidentally – maybe a split second, not in focus, should be permissible to use but it’s really a question of risk. Sometimes, something comes up in a <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/26544/script-insurance-clearance-reports-what-are-they-and-why-are-they-important\" rel=\"noopener\">script clearance report</a> or rough cut; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">e.g.,</span> if I’m reviewing a script clearance report and there is a list of <a href=\"/articles/why-do-fictional-character-names-need-to-be-researched\" rel=\"noopener\">names</a>, the report will tell me how many individuals have that first and last name in the area, province, city, etc. Maybe there is one with the same job as the character which is being portrayed. We want to make sure that we avoid any similarities, especially if there is a negative inference or connotation with that character or anything that could potentially damage someone’s <a href=\"/articles/eo-clearance-process-claims-of-libel\" rel=\"noopener\">reputation</a>, we need to be mindful of that risk.</p>\n<p>There are things above and beyond a script clearance that you’ll see in a rough cut (or maybe not even in a rough cut) that an entertainment lawyer needs to be able to flag. <em>E.g.,</em> if there is a scene with two kids hanging out in a bedroom:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>What does the bedroom look like?</li>\n<li>Is there poster art?</li>\n<li>Are the kids wearing t-shirts or shoes with logos on them?</li>\n<li>Are there iPhones in the shot?</li>\n<li>Other third-party technology with logos showing?</li>\n<li>Would a reasonable person know that that technology belongs to a particular third-party entity?</li>\n<li>How much of it is in focus, are they talking about it, is there a positive or negative reference to it?</li>\n</ul>\n<p><em>E.g.,</em> a kid running away from a bullying scene wearing a pair of Nike shoes, there might be a negative connotation associated with that, so we need to be mindful of the risk and if there is a risk, and if we don’t feel confident that it would meet any type of exemption to copyright infringement, or fair dealing test or incidental use reference, we need to ask that third party for permission.</p>\n<p>Maybe that permission comes with some sort of monetary compensation for them but some type of release would ultimately need to be signed. So, it’s really a question of risk and the goal of an entertainment lawyer is ideally to get risk to zero but practically to just reduce the risk as much as possible.</p>\n<p>When it comes to these exemption to copyright infringement tests, such as fair dealing, that is a defence mechanism. So, even if you go through these tests and you’re confident that you can meet those thresholds, you can’t exactly hold it out as a waving flag and say, <em>“We’re fine, we’ve passed these tests, we can now move forward to production!” </em>There is always a possibility that an entity might sue the production or might in some way try to interfere with the exploitation of that project. So, even if we’re confident legally, we need to be mindful of how that’s going to play out practically, because you still have to defend that claim. So, in the defence of that claim, you would go through the tests of fair dealing to prove it but ultimately if there’s even a chance of that coming up, the lawyer needs to provide a fair dealing analysis/opinion on it and provide that to the insurer so that the insurer feels comfortable enough to provide the <a href=\"/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">E&amp;O policy</a>.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Dave Stern</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Blaney McMurtry LLP</em></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><em>Are you a producer in Canada or the US?

The general rule is: any time that a producer or individual is using someone else’s IP, or their image or likeness, any intellectual property rights that belong to someone else (<em>i.e., </em>a third-party entity), the producer needs their permission to do so.</p>\n<p>There are some exceptions to that; that’s how productions get made. A production, a feature film, a TV series – you want it to seem like it’s part of society, there might be some incidental references but there are some exceptions to that. In Canada, we have an exemption to copyright infringement called <a href=\"/articles/fair-use-vs.-fair-dealing\" rel=\"noopener\">fair dealing</a>. In the US, it’s known as <a href=\"/articles/filmmakers-insurance-part-i\" rel=\"noopener\">fair use</a>. This is basically a series of tests; if you complete it, there is a chance that you would be able to rely on the exception to <a href=\"/articles/copyright-reports-use-them-to-minimize-the-potential-of-a-producers-eo-claim\" rel=\"noopener\">copyright infringement</a> so you could potentially use that material without a third-party claim. You would have a “legal right” to use that material.</p>\n<p>There is also <a href=\"/articles/what-is-incidental-inclusion\" rel=\"noopener\">incidental use</a>. So, if a brand or <a href=\"/articles/what-is-a-trade-mark\" rel=\"noopener\">logo</a> or individual is caught on camera incidentally – maybe a split second, not in focus, should be permissible to use but it’s really a question of risk. Sometimes, something comes up in a <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/26544/script-insurance-clearance-reports-what-are-they-and-why-are-they-important\" rel=\"noopener\">script clearance report</a> or rough cut; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">e.g.,</span> if I’m reviewing a script clearance report and there is a list of <a href=\"/articles/why-do-fictional-character-names-need-to-be-researched\" rel=\"noopener\">names</a>, the report will tell me how many individuals have that first and last name in the area, province, city, etc. Maybe there is one with the same job as the character which is being portrayed. We want to make sure that we avoid any similarities, especially if there is a negative inference or connotation with that character or anything that could potentially damage someone’s <a href=\"/articles/eo-clearance-process-claims-of-libel\" rel=\"noopener\">reputation</a>, we need to be mindful of that risk.</p>\n<p>There are things above and beyond a script clearance that you’ll see in a rough cut (or maybe not even in a rough cut) that an entertainment lawyer needs to be able to flag. <em>E.g.,</em> if there is a scene with two kids hanging out in a bedroom:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>What does the bedroom look like?</li>\n<li>Is there poster art?</li>\n<li>Are the kids wearing t-shirts or shoes with logos on them?</li>\n<li>Are there iPhones in the shot?</li>\n<li>Other third-party technology with logos showing?</li>\n<li>Would a reasonable person know that that technology belongs to a particular third-party entity?</li>\n<li>How much of it is in focus, are they talking about it, is there a positive or negative reference to it?</li>\n</ul>\n<p><em>E.g.,</em> a kid running away from a bullying scene wearing a pair of Nike shoes, there might be a negative connotation associated with that, so we need to be mindful of the risk and if there is a risk, and if we don’t feel confident that it would meet any type of exemption to copyright infringement, or fair dealing test or incidental use reference, we need to ask that third party for permission.</p>\n<p>Maybe that permission comes with some sort of monetary compensation for them but some type of release would ultimately need to be signed. So, it’s really a question of risk and the goal of an entertainment lawyer is ideally to get risk to zero but practically to just reduce the risk as much as possible.</p>\n<p>When it comes to these exemption to copyright infringement tests, such as fair dealing, that is a defence mechanism. So, even if you go through these tests and you’re confident that you can meet those thresholds, you can’t exactly hold it out as a waving flag and say, <em>“We’re fine, we’ve passed these tests, we can now move forward to production!” </em>There is always a possibility that an entity might sue the production or might in some way try to interfere with the exploitation of that project. So, even if we’re confident legally, we need to be mindful of how that’s going to play out practically, because you still have to defend that claim. So, in the defence of that claim, you would go through the tests of fair dealing to prove it but ultimately if there’s even a chance of that coming up, the lawyer needs to provide a fair dealing analysis/opinion on it and provide that to the insurer so that the insurer feels comfortable enough to provide the <a href=\"/en/sectors/e-o-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">E&amp;O policy</a>.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><em>Dave Stern</em></strong><em> is an entertainment lawyer and partner at Blaney McMurtry LLP</em></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><em>Are you a producer in Canada or the US?

but, I don’t know, I think everybody had a forced rest and film is known for being no rest.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike Groner</strong>: I wish we could say that we got that same rest during the stay-at-home orders but instead, I think we were hit with 45 claims on day one of the orders.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: And generally what kind of claims were those?</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: We didn’t see a lot of claims coming from <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/61710/cast-insurance-5-reasons-to-use-an-approved-cast-doctor\" rel=\"noopener\">cast and crew getting sick</a>. Most of the claims that we received [during the pandemic] were for a coverage in the <a href=\"https://youtu.be/-NbXldCS5tk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">entertainment package</a> called <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">civil authority</span>, which in itself is not that unique a coverage. It’s included on most standard business insurance policies. However, the way the coverage reacts is slightly different in the film world. Pre-March 2020, there were no exclusions under the entertainment package policy (specifically for civil authority) for communicable disease.</p>\n<p>By April 2020, every film policy had an absolute COVID communicable disease exclusion. Pre-2020, nothing like this had ever happened, so any policy that was purchased prior to March 2020 had coverage for COVID in the form of civil authority coverage. In a nutshell, civil authority coverage gets triggered when a government authority (e.g., police, fire department) doesn’t allow you to gain access to your location as a result of something having nothing to do with the production. So, they essentially revoke your permit or bar access to the location.</p>\n<p>During the stay-at-home orders where you couldn’t gather 10, then seven, then three people, how are you going to film? You’ll be breaking the law if you gather your entire cast and crew. So, that’s what triggered all these claims at that time.</p>\n<p>By April 2020, we were working to come up with a solution for COVID-related losses because even if productions were able to restart (which they did in June), the chances of someone getting COVID were pretty high, and we still faced the threat of new stay-at-home orders. We didn’t have too many in BC but in Quebec and Ontario, they did impose new stay-at-home orders that would have triggered civil authority had that coverage still been available at that time. So in Canada, they did come out with that <a href=\"https://cmf-fmc.ca/news/the-canada-media-fund-and-telefilm-canada-welcome-emergency-funding-to-support-canadas-film-television-and-digital-media-industries/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Telefilm Canadian Media Fund program</a>, which was designed to put back in coverage for cast and civil authority in the event of a shutdown related to COVID. But in order to qualify for that, you had to be considered Canadian content and not all Canadian projects are.</p>\n<p>We were able to come up with a couple of solutions; they were fairly pricey and they didn’t work for every movie but on the larger independents and the TV series, it was a gift to be able to have some protection if you did have another shutdown related to COVID.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: Do you still lose sleep about COVID regarding insurance claims or is this just a new reality that you have adapted to now?</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: At this point [March 2023], no one is really insuring against COVID. I think people have become pretty comfortable with the risk and a lot of productions build into their contingency fund to accommodate shutting down for a day or two. So, I don’t live in fear that I’m going to get a call that we have a brand-new claim. But for the first six to eight months [of the pandemic], dealing with the claims that were already submitted, that was one of the most stressful periods of my career, if not the most. Every single one of those claims required a true forensic accounting of productions having to prove what their additional costs are above and beyond the budget. It’s not just <em>“OK, you shut down, each day was $100K, here’s your money!”</em> You have to prove your overages and how much that shutdown really cost you in addition to what you had budgeted.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: Even if you think about launch date, right? Like your promotional and box office misses and all those potential gains you missed because of this delay.</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: That part is uninsurable. We only insure the actual production costs. We don’t insure the promotion or delivery of the production.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</span></em> Get a quote for <a href=\"/en/film-production-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">film production insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related:</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"/michael-groner\" rel=\"noopener\">Mike Groner Bio</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/front-row-insurance-were-brokers-not-insurers\" rel=\"noopener\">Front Row: We're Brokers, Not Insurers</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/112180/how-does-imminent-peril-insurance-coverage-protect-your-production\" rel=\"noopener\">Imminent Peril</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/112239/how-can-ingress-egress-coverage-protect-your-film-production\" rel=\"noopener\">Ingress &amp; Exgress Coverage</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/most-common-film-insurance-claims\" rel=\"noopener\">Common Film Insurance Claims</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"/articles/the-top-10-films-that-could-have-been-made-during-the-covid-pandemic\" rel=\"noopener\">Films That Could Have Been Made During COVID</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Content courtesy of the <a href=\"https://vantropolis.simplecast.com/episodes/vantropolis-mike-groner\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Vantropolis podcast</a>.</span></p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">About</span>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that specializes in the entertainment industry – specifically, the film industry.

got that same rest during the stay-at-home orders but instead, I think we were hit with 45 claims on day one of the orders.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: And generally what kind of claims were those?</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: We didn’t see a lot of claims coming from <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/61710/cast-insurance-5-reasons-to-use-an-approved-cast-doctor\" rel=\"noopener\">cast and crew getting sick</a>. Most of the claims that we received [during the pandemic] were for a coverage in the <a href=\"https://youtu.be/-NbXldCS5tk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">entertainment package</a> called <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">civil authority</span>, which in itself is not that unique a coverage. It’s included on most standard business insurance policies. However, the way the coverage reacts is slightly different in the film world. Pre-March 2020, there were no exclusions under the entertainment package policy (specifically for civil authority) for communicable disease.</p>\n<p>By April 2020, every film policy had an absolute COVID communicable disease exclusion. Pre-2020, nothing like this had ever happened, so any policy that was purchased prior to March 2020 had coverage for COVID in the form of civil authority coverage. In a nutshell, civil authority coverage gets triggered when a government authority (e.g., police, fire department) doesn’t allow you to gain access to your location as a result of something having nothing to do with the production. So, they essentially revoke your permit or bar access to the location.</p>\n<p>During the stay-at-home orders where you couldn’t gather 10, then seven, then three people, how are you going to film? You’ll be breaking the law if you gather your entire cast and crew. So, that’s what triggered all these claims at that time.</p>\n<p>By April 2020, we were working to come up with a solution for COVID-related losses because even if productions were able to restart (which they did in June), the chances of someone getting COVID were pretty high, and we still faced the threat of new stay-at-home orders. We didn’t have too many in BC but in Quebec and Ontario, they did impose new stay-at-home orders that would have triggered civil authority had that coverage still been available at that time. So in Canada, they did come out with that <a href=\"https://cmf-fmc.ca/news/the-canada-media-fund-and-telefilm-canada-welcome-emergency-funding-to-support-canadas-film-television-and-digital-media-industries/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Telefilm Canadian Media Fund program</a>, which was designed to put back in coverage for cast and civil authority in the event of a shutdown related to COVID. But in order to qualify for that, you had to be considered Canadian content and not all Canadian projects are.</p>\n<p>We were able to come up with a couple of solutions; they were fairly pricey and they didn’t work for every movie but on the larger independents and the TV series, it was a gift to be able to have some protection if you did have another shutdown related to COVID.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: Do you still lose sleep about COVID regarding insurance claims or is this just a new reality that you have adapted to now?</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: At this point [March 2023], no one is really insuring against COVID. I think people have become pretty comfortable with the risk and a lot of productions build into their contingency fund to accommodate shutting down for a day or two. So, I don’t live in fear that I’m going to get a call that we have a brand-new claim. But for the first six to eight months [of the pandemic], dealing with the claims that were already submitted, that was one of the most stressful periods of my career, if not the most. Every single one of those claims required a true forensic accounting of productions having to prove what their additional costs are above and beyond the budget. It’s not just <em>“OK, you shut down, each day was $100K, here’s your money!”</em> You have to prove your overages and how much that shutdown really cost you in addition to what you had budgeted.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: Even if you think about launch date, right?

Most of the claims that we received [during the pandemic] were for a coverage in the <a href=\"https://youtu.be/-NbXldCS5tk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">entertainment package</a> called <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">civil authority</span>, which in itself is not that unique a coverage. It’s included on most standard business insurance policies. However, the way the coverage reacts is slightly different in the film world. Pre-March 2020, there were no exclusions under the entertainment package policy (specifically for civil authority) for communicable disease.</p>\n<p>By April 2020, every film policy had an absolute COVID communicable disease exclusion. Pre-2020, nothing like this had ever happened, so any policy that was purchased prior to March 2020 had coverage for COVID in the form of civil authority coverage. In a nutshell, civil authority coverage gets triggered when a government authority (e.g., police, fire department) doesn’t allow you to gain access to your location as a result of something having nothing to do with the production. So, they essentially revoke your permit or bar access to the location.</p>\n<p>During the stay-at-home orders where you couldn’t gather 10, then seven, then three people, how are you going to film? You’ll be breaking the law if you gather your entire cast and crew. So, that’s what triggered all these claims at that time.</p>\n<p>By April 2020, we were working to come up with a solution for COVID-related losses because even if productions were able to restart (which they did in June), the chances of someone getting COVID were pretty high, and we still faced the threat of new stay-at-home orders. We didn’t have too many in BC but in Quebec and Ontario, they did impose new stay-at-home orders that would have triggered civil authority had that coverage still been available at that time. So in Canada, they did come out with that <a href=\"https://cmf-fmc.ca/news/the-canada-media-fund-and-telefilm-canada-welcome-emergency-funding-to-support-canadas-film-television-and-digital-media-industries/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Telefilm Canadian Media Fund program</a>, which was designed to put back in coverage for cast and civil authority in the event of a shutdown related to COVID. But in order to qualify for that, you had to be considered Canadian content and not all Canadian projects are.</p>\n<p>We were able to come up with a couple of solutions; they were fairly pricey and they didn’t work for every movie but on the larger independents and the TV series, it was a gift to be able to have some protection if you did have another shutdown related to COVID.</p>\n<p><strong>Colby</strong>: Do you still lose sleep about COVID regarding insurance claims or is this just a new reality that you have adapted to now?</p>\n<p><strong>Mike</strong>: At this point [March 2023], no one is really insuring against COVID. I think people have become pretty comfortable with the risk and a lot of productions build into their contingency fund to accommodate shutting down for a day or two. So, I don’t live in fear that I’m going to get a call that we have a brand-new claim. But for the first six to eight months [of the pandemic], dealing with the claims that were already submitted, that was one of the most stressful periods of my career, if not the most. Every single one of those claims required a true forensic accounting of productions having to prove what their additional costs are above and beyond the budget.

You may see production policies without cast coverage, but only because the coverage has been declined. It is not a separate policy. The largest limits on a production policy are typically:<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"> i)</span> cast coverage and<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"> ii)</span> <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/negative-film-and-faulty-stock-insurance-explained\">negative film &amp; faulty stock coverage</a>. Cast claims can be among the biggest claims that a project can incur. The largest cast claim was approx. $50M USD, on the <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Fast &amp; Furious</span> franchise, as a result of <a href=\"/articles/how-to-call-a-wrap-on-top-film-insurance-claims\" rel=\"noopener\">Paul Walker’s tragic death</a>. The largest cast claim in Canada resulted from Heath Ledger’s death during production of <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Imaginarium_of_Doctor_Parnassus\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><em>The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus</em></a> (2009). Ledger’s role, you may recall, was recast with three actors: Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law.</p>\n<p>The costs associated with replacing an actor mid-production <a href=\"/articles/injuries-to-actors-could-be-covered-under-cast-production-insurance\" rel=\"noopener\">due to injury</a> or death can be huge. Production has to come to a grinding halt, suitable new actors have to be found, and then production has to restart. The costs of doing these extra shoots would be covered by cast insurance. The insurance company would look at the initial budget of the production and cross-reference this with the extra costs incurred to complete the project. The production has to demonstrate that all these <a href=\"/articles/articles/bid/75392/film-production-equipment-insurance-why-you-need-extra-expense\" rel=\"noopener\">extra expenses</a> incurred were truly necessary to complete the project. They would have to show how much overtime the crew was paid, extra costs for cast, locations, equipment rentals, hair &amp; makeup,<em> etc.</em></p>\n<p>Negative film &amp; faulty stock insurance covers losses to your actual footage. This term is from an older era of filmmaking where productions shot on celluloid and, of course, there is a higher risk of celluloid being lost or damaged, in part because it is flammable, <em>etc.</em></p>\n<p>There is a possibility here that all of your footage could be lost, and you would have to reshoot everything. Cast and neg/faulty stock insurance will always have a limit that is around the <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/articles/blog/film-production-insurance-premiums-one-way-to-save-money\">full gross budget of the production</a> because there is the risk that everything would have to be redone.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">— <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/davidmcleish\">David McLeish</a> | Account Executive, Front Row Insurance<br>Courtesy of the <em>BIPOC Credits</em> podcast: <a href=\"https://shows.acast.com/bipoc-credits\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https://shows.acast.com/bipoc-credits</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong><em>Are you a producer in Canada or the US?</em></strong> <a href=\"https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/en/film-production-insurance\">Get a quote for film production insurance here</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">About</span>: Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is an independent insurance broker that specializes in the entertainment industry – specifically, the film industry.

The rate from the insurance company is applied against the net insurable budget to determine the final premium. The number of episodes and length of production rarely have an impact on price. The only time this would have an impact is if it were a very short shoot and we could offer a <a href=\"https://shortshoot.frontrowinsurance.com/\" rel=\" noopener\">short-term policy</a>. This type of policy would offer very limited coverages and would usually only offer coverage for 15 days or less.</p>\n<p>In addition to the rate and net insurable, the insurance companies have a minimum premium that they have to charge for a policy to ensure they can cover all of the administration costs of issuing and servicing the policies. Their minimum premium threshold might cause two different projects which have different budgets, to still have the same premium. This is usually the case in lower budget projects. The insurance company is stuck charging a minimum premium as they have to absorb the same administrative costs no matter what the budget of the production.</p>\n<p><strong>Related Post</strong>: <a href=\"/articles/blog/film-production-insurance-premiums-one-way-to-save-money\" rel=\" noopener\">FILM PRODUCTION INSURANCE PREMIUMS: ONE WAY TO SAVE MONEY</a></p>\n<p><strong>Related Video</strong>: <a href=\"https://youtu.be/DUqbD3Hr7tQ\" rel=\" noopener\">WHAT IS A PREMIUM?

Their minimum premium threshold might cause two different projects which have different budgets, to still have the same premium. This is usually the case in lower budget projects. The insurance company is stuck charging a minimum premium as they have to absorb the same administrative costs no matter what the budget of the production.</p>\n<p><strong>Related Post</strong>: <a href=\"/articles/blog/film-production-insurance-premiums-one-way-to-save-money\" rel=\" noopener\">FILM PRODUCTION INSURANCE PREMIUMS: ONE WAY TO SAVE MONEY</a></p>\n<p><strong>Related Video</strong>: <a href=\"https://youtu.be/DUqbD3Hr7tQ\" rel=\" noopener\">WHAT IS A PREMIUM?

The insurance company needs to understand the state of the person’s health before they will consider extending coverage.

Every claim is unique</h2>\n<!--more-->\n<p class=\"p1\">We often get this question: “what if <i>[insert hypothetical situation]</i> happened? Would I be covered?” It is impossible to answer this question because every claim is unique. Maybe you’ve heard an insurance broker give you vague, evasive, unsatisfying answers. That’s potentially because you’re asking the wrong question. Instead of asking “what’s covered?” you should be asking “what’s <strong>not</strong> covered?”</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Most insurance policies work like this: everything is covered, except what is explicitly <strong>excluded</strong> by the policy. This allows for all kinds of unanticipated, unimaginable types of losses to be covered. It also ensures wordings aren’t 10,000 pages long. When you submit a claim, the <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claims_adjuster\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">adjuster</a> will look through the wording to see if an exclusion applies. Some typical exclusions are: “wear and tear,” “mechanical breakdown”, “fungus”.</p>\n<h2>2. There can be many ways to prove ownership (not just receipts)</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Lots of people buy camera gear second-hand. Claims adjusters are aware of this fact. If you don’t have original receipts, don’t panic. You can still cover the gear with your insurance.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Proof of ownership can take different forms, depending on the loss. If a lens is cracked, the proof is the cracked lens in your possession. You would only need to provide documentary proof in “total loss” situations (theft, destroyed in a fire, <em>etc.</em>). In these situations, original receipts are obviously best, but in the absence of these, the adjuster may use their judgment or common sense. They may try to work with you to find “creative” ways to substantiate prior ownership.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In all cases, it is up to the adjuster’s discretion; they need something that will “hold up”, and they will be using their “Spidey-senses”. If they think something is suspicious, they will ask for more concrete evidence and they may decline a claim. So, do what you can prior to a loss occurring to substantiate your ownership of the items you wish to have covered.</p>\n<h2>3. File a police report first</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">When a crime has been committed, you will need to report the crime to the appropriate authorities. For a theft claim, an adjuster will ask for a <strong>police report number</strong> as part of your supporting documentation. This also applies in <span class=\"s1\">foreign countries</span>.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">There are also special conditions related to <a href=\"/articles/equipmenttheftfromvehicle\" rel=\" noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">theft from an unattended vehicle</span></a> – there must be visible signs of forced entry. Basically, the insurance company is saying: if you leave your gear in your car, make sure you lock your car. They will need visible evidence that someone had to pry their way into your vehicle, so take photos of the broken glass, or the scratches on your car. Without visible evidence of forced entry, your claim could be denied.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The insurance company's policy wording on <strong>unattended/unlocked property</strong> reads as follows: \"we will cover theft of <em>covered</em> property from a <em>locked</em> container, vehicle or trailer <em>when there are visible signs of forced entry.</em> This exclusion does not apply while covered property is in the care or custody of a common carrier.\" <em>(<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Note</span>: This policy wording is current as of Nov. 2022 but is subject to change)</em></p>\n<h2>4. There will be a deductible</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">A deductible is the amount of the loss that you are responsible for covering before the insurance policy will respond. Say you have a USB drive stolen. Replacing it would cost $60, but your deductible is $350. Although, “technically” the claim would be covered, it is below your deductible, so the insurance company wouldn’t be responsible for paying any part of the claim.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you damage a $500 lens, you would pay for the first $350 (your deductible), then the insurance company would cover the next $150.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After you’ve made a claim, an insurance company will generally increase your rates. There is no one-claim forgiveness. So, it may not make sense to submit a small claim, as you may end up paying more for insurance over the long run. Insurance is not meant to cover small losses. It’s best used to cover the things that could really make or break your business.</p>\n<h2>5. You can still withdraw a claim after you have reported it</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The only person who can give you a definitive answer to the question, “is it covered?” is a claims adjuster. In order to speak to an adjuster, you will need to report the claim to the insurance company. The adjuster will then review what happened and the supporting documentation, and advise whether coverage can be provided.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Once you have a clear answer, you can either decide to proceed with the claim or to withdraw it. Don’t be afraid to open a claim and talk to an adjuster.</p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Get Photography Insurance</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">As this is a blog post about claims, the assumption is that you already have insurance for your gear, but just in case you don’t: <a href=\"https://photographer.frontrowinsurance.com/\"><span class=\"s2\">Front Row’s photography insurance policy</span></a> is a good option. Many Canadian photographers have come to recognize Front Row as the industry’s best coverage – and rely upon us to protect their valuable camera gear. In case a claim <i>does</i> occur, you can work with your broker to resolve the claim and get compensated for covered losses as quickly as possible.</p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Refer a Friend to Front Row</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Based on customer demand, we’ve setup our <a href=\"/referral\" rel=\" noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">referral marketing program</span></a> and if you refer a friend to Front Row, you could win a $15 Amazon eGift Card OR be entered into a random draw to win a $99 Amazon eGift Card! <i>(depending on your province)</i></p>\n<em><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><strong>Disclaimer</strong>: Informational statements regarding insurance coverage are for general description purposes only.

Every claim is unique</h2>\n<!--more-->\n<p class=\"p1\">We often get this question: “what if <i>[insert hypothetical situation]</i> happened? Would I be covered?” It is impossible to answer this question because every claim is unique. Maybe you’ve heard an insurance broker give you vague, evasive, unsatisfying answers. That’s potentially because you’re asking the wrong question. Instead of asking “what’s covered?” you should be asking “what’s <strong>not</strong> covered?”</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Most insurance policies work like this: everything is covered, except what is explicitly <strong>excluded</strong> by the policy. This allows for all kinds of unanticipated, unimaginable types of losses to be covered. It also ensures wordings aren’t 10,000 pages long. When you submit a claim, the <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claims_adjuster\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">adjuster</a> will look through the wording to see if an exclusion applies. Some typical exclusions are: “wear and tear,” “mechanical breakdown”, “fungus”.</p>\n<h2>2. There can be many ways to prove ownership (not just receipts)</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Lots of people buy camera gear second-hand. Claims adjusters are aware of this fact. If you don’t have original receipts, don’t panic. You can still cover the gear with your insurance.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Proof of ownership can take different forms, depending on the loss. If a lens is cracked, the proof is the cracked lens in your possession. You would only need to provide documentary proof in “total loss” situations (theft, destroyed in a fire, <em>etc.</em>). In these situations, original receipts are obviously best, but in the absence of these, the adjuster may use their judgment or common sense. They may try to work with you to find “creative” ways to substantiate prior ownership.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In all cases, it is up to the adjuster’s discretion; they need something that will “hold up”, and they will be using their “Spidey-senses”. If they think something is suspicious, they will ask for more concrete evidence and they may decline a claim. So, do what you can prior to a loss occurring to substantiate your ownership of the items you wish to have covered.</p>\n<h2>3. File a police report first</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">When a crime has been committed, you will need to report the crime to the appropriate authorities. For a theft claim, an adjuster will ask for a <strong>police report number</strong> as part of your supporting documentation. This also applies in <span class=\"s1\">foreign countries</span>.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">There are also special conditions related to <a href=\"/articles/equipmenttheftfromvehicle\" rel=\" noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">theft from an unattended vehicle</span></a> – there must be visible signs of forced entry. Basically, the insurance company is saying: if you leave your gear in your car, make sure you lock your car. They will need visible evidence that someone had to pry their way into your vehicle, so take photos of the broken glass, or the scratches on your car. Without visible evidence of forced entry, your claim could be denied.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The insurance company's policy wording on <strong>unattended/unlocked property</strong> reads as follows: \"we will cover theft of <em>covered</em> property from a <em>locked</em> container, vehicle or trailer <em>when there are visible signs of forced entry.</em> This exclusion does not apply while covered property is in the care or custody of a common carrier.\" <em>(<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Note</span>: This policy wording is current as of Nov. 2022 but is subject to change)</em></p>\n<h2>4. There will be a deductible</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">A deductible is the amount of the loss that you are responsible for covering before the insurance policy will respond. Say you have a USB drive stolen. Replacing it would cost $60, but your deductible is $350. Although, “technically” the claim would be covered, it is below your deductible, so the insurance company wouldn’t be responsible for paying any part of the claim.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you damage a $500 lens, you would pay for the first $350 (your deductible), then the insurance company would cover the next $150.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After you’ve made a claim, an insurance company will generally increase your rates. There is no one-claim forgiveness. So, it may not make sense to submit a small claim, as you may end up paying more for insurance over the long run. Insurance is not meant to cover small losses. It’s best used to cover the things that could really make or break your business.</p>\n<h2>5. You can still withdraw a claim after you have reported it</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The only person who can give you a definitive answer to the question, “is it covered?” is a claims adjuster. In order to speak to an adjuster, you will need to report the claim to the insurance company. The adjuster will then review what happened and the supporting documentation, and advise whether coverage can be provided.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Once you have a clear answer, you can either decide to proceed with the claim or to withdraw it. Don’t be afraid to open a claim and talk to an adjuster.</p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Get Photography Insurance</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">As this is a blog post about claims, the assumption is that you already have insurance for your gear, but just in case you don’t: <a href=\"https://photographer.frontrowinsurance.com/\"><span class=\"s2\">Front Row’s photography insurance policy</span></a> is a good option. Many Canadian photographers have come to recognize Front Row as the industry’s best coverage – and rely upon us to protect their valuable camera gear. In case a claim <i>does</i> occur, you can work with your broker to resolve the claim and get compensated for covered losses as quickly as possible.</p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Refer a Friend to Front Row</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Based on customer demand, we’ve setup our <a href=\"/referral\" rel=\" noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">referral marketing program</span></a> and if you refer a friend to Front Row, you could win a $15 Amazon eGift Card OR be entered into a random draw to win a $99 Amazon eGift Card! <i>(depending on your province)</i></p>\n<em><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><strong>Disclaimer</strong>: Informational statements regarding insurance coverage are for general description purposes only.

Every claim is unique</h2>\n<!--more-->\n<p class=\"p1\">We often get this question: “what if <i>[insert hypothetical situation]</i> happened? Would I be covered?” It is impossible to answer this question because every claim is unique. Maybe you’ve heard an insurance broker give you vague, evasive, unsatisfying answers. That’s potentially because you’re asking the wrong question. Instead of asking “what’s covered?” you should be asking “what’s <strong>not</strong> covered?”</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Most insurance policies work like this: everything is covered, except what is explicitly <strong>excluded</strong> by the policy. This allows for all kinds of unanticipated, unimaginable types of losses to be covered. It also ensures wordings aren’t 10,000 pages long. When you submit a claim, the <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claims_adjuster\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">adjuster</a> will look through the wording to see if an exclusion applies. Some typical exclusions are: “wear and tear,” “mechanical breakdown”, “fungus”.</p>\n<h2>2. There can be many ways to prove ownership (not just receipts)</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Lots of people buy camera gear second-hand. Claims adjusters are aware of this fact. If you don’t have original receipts, don’t panic. You can still cover the gear with your insurance.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Proof of ownership can take different forms, depending on the loss. If a lens is cracked, the proof is the cracked lens in your possession. You would only need to provide documentary proof in “total loss” situations (theft, destroyed in a fire, <em>etc.</em>). In these situations, original receipts are obviously best, but in the absence of these, the adjuster may use their judgment or common sense. They may try to work with you to find “creative” ways to substantiate prior ownership.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In all cases, it is up to the adjuster’s discretion; they need something that will “hold up”, and they will be using their “Spidey-senses”. If they think something is suspicious, they will ask for more concrete evidence and they may decline a claim. So, do what you can prior to a loss occurring to substantiate your ownership of the items you wish to have covered.</p>\n<h2>3. File a police report first</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">When a crime has been committed, you will need to report the crime to the appropriate authorities. For a theft claim, an adjuster will ask for a <strong>police report number</strong> as part of your supporting documentation. This also applies in <span class=\"s1\">foreign countries</span>.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">There are also special conditions related to <a href=\"/articles/equipmenttheftfromvehicle\" rel=\" noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">theft from an unattended vehicle</span></a> – there must be visible signs of forced entry. Basically, the insurance company is saying: if you leave your gear in your car, make sure you lock your car. They will need visible evidence that someone had to pry their way into your vehicle, so take photos of the broken glass, or the scratches on your car. Without visible evidence of forced entry, your claim could be denied.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The insurance company's policy wording on <strong>unattended/unlocked property</strong> reads as follows: \"we will cover theft of <em>covered</em> property from a <em>locked</em> container, vehicle or trailer <em>when there are visible signs of forced entry.</em> This exclusion does not apply while covered property is in the care or custody of a common carrier.\" <em>(<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Note</span>: This policy wording is current as of Nov. 2022 but is subject to change)</em></p>\n<h2>4. There will be a deductible</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">A deductible is the amount of the loss that you are responsible for covering before the insurance policy will respond. Say you have a USB drive stolen. Replacing it would cost $60, but your deductible is $350. Although, “technically” the claim would be covered, it is below your deductible, so the insurance company wouldn’t be responsible for paying any part of the claim.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you damage a $500 lens, you would pay for the first $350 (your deductible), then the insurance company would cover the next $150.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After you’ve made a claim, an insurance company will generally increase your rates. There is no one-claim forgiveness. So, it may not make sense to submit a small claim, as you may end up paying more for insurance over the long run. Insurance is not meant to cover small losses. It’s best used to cover the things that could really make or break your business.</p>\n<h2>5. You can still withdraw a claim after you have reported it</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The only person who can give you a definitive answer to the question, “is it covered?” is a claims adjuster. In order to speak to an adjuster, you will need to report the claim to the insurance company. The adjuster will then review what happened and the supporting documentation, and advise whether coverage can be provided.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Once you have a clear answer, you can either decide to proceed with the claim or to withdraw it. Don’t be afraid to open a claim and talk to an adjuster.</p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Get Photography Insurance</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">As this is a blog post about claims, the assumption is that you already have insurance for your gear, but just in case you don’t: <a href=\"https://photographer.frontrowinsurance.com/\"><span class=\"s2\">Front Row’s photography insurance policy</span></a> is a good option.

src=\"https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/61352/blog-image-uploads/slr-damaged-forweb.jpg\" alt=\"PHOTOGRAPHY INSURANCE CLAIM\" width=\"600\" style=\"width: 600px; display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"></p>\n<h2>1. Every claim is unique</h2>\n<!--more-->\n<p class=\"p1\">We often get this question: “what if <i>[insert hypothetical situation]</i> happened? Would I be covered?” It is impossible to answer this question, because every claim is unique. Maybe you’ve heard an insurance broker give you vague, evasive, unsatisfying answers. That’s potentially because you’re asking the wrong question. Instead of asking “what’s covered?” you should be asking “what’s <strong>not</strong> covered?”</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Most insurance policies work like this: everything is covered, except what is explicitly <strong>excluded</strong> by the policy. This allows for all kinds of unanticipated, unimaginable types of losses to be covered. It also ensures wordings aren’t 10,000 pages long. When you submit a claim, the adjustor will look through the wording to see if an exclusion applies. Some typical exclusions are: “wear and tear,” “mechanical breakdown”, “fungus”.</p>\n<h2>2. There can be many ways to prove ownership (not just receipts)</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Lots of people buy camera gear second-hand. Claims adjustors are aware of this fact. If you don’t have original receipts, don’t panic. You can still cover the gear with your insurance.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Proof of ownership can take different forms, depending on the loss. If a lens is cracked, the proof is the cracked lens in your possession. You would only need to provide documentary proof in “total loss” situations (theft, destroyed in a fire, <em>etc.</em>). In these situations, original receipts are obviously best, but in the absence of these, the adjustor may use their judgment or common sense. They may try to work with you to find “creative” ways to substantiate prior ownership.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In all cases, it is up to the adjustor’s discretion; they need something that will “hold up”, and they will be using their “Spidey-senses”. If they think something is suspicious, they will ask for more concrete evidence and they may decline a claim. So, do what you can prior to a loss occurring to substantiate your ownership of the items you wish to have covered.</p>\n<h2>3. File a police report first (and take photos of the crime scene)</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">When a crime has been committed, you will need to report the crime to the appropriate authorities. For a theft claim, an adjustor will ask for a <strong>police report number</strong> as part of your supporting documentation. This also applies in <span class=\"s1\">foreign countries</span>.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">There are also special conditions related to <a href=\"/articles/equipmenttheftfromvehicle\" rel=\" noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">theft from an unattended vehicle</span></a> – there must be visible signs of forced entry. Basically, the insurance company is saying: if you leave your gear in your car, make sure you lock your car. They will need visible evidence that someone had to pry their way into your vehicle, so take pictures of the broken glass, or the scratches on your car. Without visible evidence of forced entry, your claim could be denied.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The insurance company's policy wording on <strong>unattended/unlocked property</strong> reads as follows: \"we will cover theft of <em>covered</em> property from a <em>locked</em> container, vehicle or trailer <em>when there are visible signs of forced entry.</em> This exclusion does not apply while covered property is in the care or custody of a common carrier.\"</p>\n<h2>4. There will be a deductible</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">A deductible is the amount of the loss that you are responsible for covering before the insurance policy will respond. Say you have a USB drive stolen. Replacing it would cost $60, but your deductible is $350. Although, “technically” the claim would be covered, it is below your deductible, so the insurance company wouldn’t be responsible for paying any part of the claim.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you damage a $500 lens, you would pay for the first $350 (your deductible), then the insurance company would cover the next $150.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After you’ve made a claim, an insurance company will generally increase your rates. There is no one-claim forgiveness. So, it may not make sense to submit a small claim, as you may end up paying more for insurance over the long-run. Insurance is not meant to cover small losses. It’s best used to cover the things that could really make or break your business.</p>\n<h2>5. You can still withdraw a claim after you have reported it</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The only person who can give you a definitive answer to the question, “is it covered?” is a claims adjustor. In order to speak to an adjustor, you will need to report the claim to the insurance company. The adjustor will then review what happened and the supporting documentation, and advise whether coverage can be provided.</p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Once you have a clear answer, you can either decide to proceed with the claim or to withdraw it. Don’t be afraid to open a claim and talk to an adjustor.</p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Get Photography Insurance</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">As this is a blog post about claims, the assumption is that you already have insurance for your gear, but just in case you don’t: <a href=\"https://photographer.frontrowinsurance.com/\"><span class=\"s2\">Front Row’s photography insurance policy</span></a> is a good option. Many Canadian photographers have come to recognize Front Row as the industry’s best coverage – and rely upon us to protect their valuable camera gear. In case a claim <i>does</i> occur, you can work with your broker to resolve the claim and get compensated for covered losses as quickly as possible.</p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Refer a Friend to Front Row Insurance</h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Based on customer demand, we’ve setup our <a href=\"/referral\" rel=\" noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">referral marketing program</span></a> and if you refer a friend to Front Row, you could win a $15 Amazon eGift Card OR be entered into a random draw to win a $99 Amazon eGift Card! <i>(depending on your province)</i></p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Related Posts:</h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"/photography-insurance-101\" rel=\" noopener\"><strong>FREE EBOOK</strong>!
