Copyright contracts in the film industry is one of the most complex scenarios for any copyright attorney, not to say a lot more complicated for the film producer that has barely any or no experience in the subject. There are so many rights, releases and contracts involved, that for a rookie in the business, the probability of missing something is high enough.

"Borges (famous Argentinean writer) used to say that all arts aspired to be music... now today Borges would say that all arts dream to be in film" Cabral, 2012. If we would bring this same analogy to Intellectual Property, I would say that copyright, once in love with music, now it reaches its maximum potential in film.
