Intellectual Property Law for Artists and Musicians

Artists and musicians should have a basic understanding of copyright laws, defenses to infringement allegations, and how to apply those laws when creating art. Attorney Peter Kraybill will cover those basics, and walk through a hypothetical of what typically happens when an artist or musician has received a cease-and-desist letter containing allegations of copyright infringement. Gain guidance to protect against such accusations when creating art, or mitigate harm after an alleged copyright infringement. Learn when to contact an attorney, and what information an attorney will consider significant in determining an artist’s defense — or ability to avoid a lawsuit entirely.
