Q: The producer drafts the contract, so you should work with a lawyer experienced in entertainment law. Get referrals from other producers, or contact your nearest bar association and get a referral. A lawyer will be a big asset when you negotiate, too, so bring them on board early. Not all producers can afford a lawyer, so you might need to draft the option agreement yourself. Luckily, the American Bar Association has a sample option purchase agreement here: http://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/migrated/Forums/entsports/PublicDocuments/imanage_311793_2.authcheckdam.pdf. Use it as a guide when drafting your own. Your contract will lay out the terms of your agreement. However, you also want to include warranties from the author. For example, get the author to warranty the following: The book doesn't infringe any copyrights. The book doesn't invade anyone's privacy. The book isn't obscene and doesn't contain defamatory material. The author hasn't sold the film rights to anyone else. An injunction is a court order telling you to stop doing something. If you get in a dispute with the author, they can sue for an injunction that prohibits the movie from being distributed. No distributor will touch your movie unless you include a provision telling the author they can only sue you for money compensation. Every contract contains boilerplate provisions that are meant to protect your rights. Make sure your contract contains the following provisions: Merger clause. You want to state that the contract contains the entire agreement and replaces all prior negotiations. Choice of law provision. If you get in a contract dispute, a judge needs to apply some state's law to the dispute. You can choose any state's law, although most people choose the law of the state where they are located. Partnership provision. Make sure the contract states you are not forming a partnership by signing this agreement. Negotiate all main issues before writing your contract. Once finished, let the author and their lawyer/agent review it. If they have major changes, you should discuss them further. After all parties sign, give a copy of the contract to the author and their agent. Keep your original in a safe place, such as a safe deposit box, or give it to your lawyer to hold onto.
A: Hire a lawyer. Use a sample if drafting your own. Remember to include warranties. Include a clause prohibiting injunctive relief. Add boilerplate. Review and sign the contract.

Q: If you have a laptop which has at least one video output slot (e.g., an HDMI port or a VGA port), you can usually use an external monitor in conjunction with the video port. While a few Windows laptops might not support dual monitors, all Apple MacBook computers doif you have a Mac laptop, feel free to skip ahead to connecting your second monitor. Depending on your computer's graphics card and motherboard, you may not be able to run a second monitor at the same time as your first. Again, if you're using an Apple iMac desktop unit, you can use dual monitors. Most computers have at least two ports for video output, meaning that you'll usually be able to connect a second monitor; however, if the two (or more) ports aren't level with each other, they're most likely not part of the same graphics card and thus not able to be used for dual monitors. For example, if you see two horizontal HDMI ports next to (or on top of) each other, your computer's graphics card probably supports dual monitors. This goes for different outputs as well (e.g., a VGA output next to an HDMI output). Desktop Windows computers normally have these ports on the back of the computer case. If you only see one video output on a desktop computer, your computer's graphics card only supports one monitor at a time. Laptops which have one video output port can usually support multiple monitors. Virtually all modern computers' motherboards support multiple monitors, but older machines may not. You can check your motherboard for dual monitor support by doing the following: Find your motherboard's name. Look up your motherboard's name in a search engine (e.g., Google). Select a search result which lists your motherboard's features. Look for a "Multi-Display", "Multi-Monitor", or "Dual Display" feature.
A: Know that most laptops can support dual monitors. Understand that not all desktop computers support dual monitors. Check your computer's video output ports. Determine whether your motherboard supports dual monitors.

Q: In order to move the music from your iPhone onto your computer's hard drive, you'll need to have the music in question fully downloaded into your iTunes library on your phone. Plug one end of your iPhone's charging cable into the iPhone, then plug the other end (the USB end) into your computer. If you're using an iPhone 7 (or older) charger with a Mac, you may need to buy a USB-C charger cable in order to plug it into your computer. Its app icon resembles a multicolored musical note on a white background. The iTunes window should pop up after a few seconds. If prompted to update iTunes, click the Download button and wait for iTunes to update. You'll need to restart your computer before proceeding. It's in the upper-left side of the iTunes window (Windows) or the top menu bar of the screen (Mac). This option is near the bottom of the File drop-down menu. Instead of "[Name]", you'll see your iPhone's name here. Clicking this option prompts the music to begin transferring onto your computer. Depending on the amount of music that you need to transfer, this may take a few seconds to a few minutes. It's a tab on the left side of the iTunes window. Doing so opens a list of recently added music. You may have to scroll up or down to find the music that you want to download onto your computer. It should be to the right of your selected song (or album). This will prompt the music to download from iTunes onto your computer, ensuring that you have a backup of the music on your computer at all times. If you don't see the Download icon, the music is already on your computer. You can go to the music's location on your computer by selecting a song, clicking File, and clicking either Show in Windows Explorer (Windows) or Show in Finder (Mac).
A:
Make sure that you've purchased the music that you want to transfer. Attach your iPhone to your computer. Open iTunes. Click File. Select Devices. Click Transfer Purchases from [Name]. Wait for the purchased music to finish transferring. Click Recently Added. Find the purchased music that you want to save. Click Download .
