I know you people like to guess the motive behind these questions, i'm going to tell you straight up it is hypothetical (im not even a film-maker,dont know a thing about it) so can all the do-gooders please keep their theories to themselves and those with brains read on;
Suppose a person making their own film decided to make one which included what looked like animal cruelty.
It might cause controversy. If someone thought it was real and reported it (somewhere?) could the film..person be investigated?
How would someone be able to prove that it was just clever camera work or something like that?
Suppose you used what appeared to be a metal pole to beat a dog. A prop.
This film could be around for years, long after the prop is gone, so how would you prove it in that case without the prop?
Or I even ask what are the legal issues, if any, if you used parts of a clip showing actual cruelity. This is not concerning copyright- would you have to prove you didn't make the beating?
