A legal disclaimer (content)

This gob of lingo is surely posted more places than the backside of the press pass and beside the Shasta Cola cooler in the filmmaker-press cafe-lounge: "By receiving admission, you irrevocably grant to Sundance Institute all rights to any audio and visual recordings made of you and the use of your name, likeness, and performance throughout the world in perpetuity in any and all media now or hereafter known, including for advertising and promotional uses, without any payment to, or approval from, you. You hereby waive any claims against Sundance Institute and its designees resulting from the use of the recordings or other rights granted by you." So help you Bob.
