Domain Name Dispute Videos: A Behind-the-Scenes Documentary

Why do I publish videos about domain name disputes for my GigaLaw website — and how do I create them?

I answer those questions (and provide a lot of other behind-the-scenes details about my legal practice) in a new documentary on my YouTube channel.

Created by my oldest son, Ari, for his “Sight & Sound: Documentary” class at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, this short film lifts the curtain on the videos I started publishing at the beginning of the pandemic.

I originally intended to create a short number of introductory videos on domain name disputes and the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), which resulted in 14 videos for what I called “Domain Name Disputes: A Masterclass.” But as I explain in this documentary, I decided to continue creating videos because I found it to be a great way to connect with clients and prospective clients online, in a way that blog posts and other marketing efforts simply can’t do.

But creating my YouTube channel, and maintaining a regular publishing schedule, is no easy task — at least not for me! Writing, filming, editing and publishing takes a lot of work, but, as a I say in the video, it’s also fun and rewarding.

Although the focus in this documentary is on my legal practice, this turned out to be a highly personal project, with me talking about and showing how and why I do what I do. And where I do it. While each of my domain name dispute videos is a polished project, this short film truly goes behind the scenes, where you can see what I look like and what I do “off camera.”

No, this documentary won’t teach you anything about domain name disputes. But hopefully you’ll learn more about me, whether you are already my client, whether you are looking for an attorney, or whether you’re just curious about how and why I publish legal videos.

Thanks for watching, and see you next time online.
