What I got out of this Interview with Michael Prywes:

1. Copyright Infringements

Copyright infringements have no real time limitations. You can be smacked with a copyright infringement at any time for any violations of copyright you have ever made!

2. Using Other People’s Media

If you are going to use other people’s images, music, video, etc, make sure you understand any limitations on how you are allowed to use that media.

For example, some stock photo licenses only allow you to use the images a specific amount of times.
