Our Mission :

 
[NSEAL] seeks to balance the influence of the international conglomerates within the media through education, public-policy advocacy, legislation, and litigation. 

Due to their limited resources and relative ignorance of the law, talent in the entertainment industry are at a great disadvantage relative to corporate entities when attempting to protect or exploit their intellectual property. Consequently, corporate entities often seek to free-ride on the labor and reputation of such talent, trusting that many will lack the wherewithal and financial backing to mount a legal challenge. [NSEAL] seeks to level the playing field by providing informative counseling and advice as to best practices to such individuals, as well as advocating their interests to those in a position to correct perceived deficiencies in their legal protections.
