Now why do you need this information?

Well…what if you receive a letter in the mail from an attorney who’s not your attorney, informing you that you have used materials without permission and asking for payment of a usage fee…or a date in court? ‘Pretty scary, right?
OR
YOU have created content, taken a photo, written a blog, or built a webpage, etc., and suddenly you find out that Someone has taken your original work without permission. That’s your GOLDMINE. What do you do?

We hear more about copyright in the news these days: musicians, speakers, writers infringing on the copyrights of others–using content without permission or license. This can lead to time-consuming and expensive litigation, with damages awarded in the hundreds and thousands of dollars. But this isn’t an issue just for celebrities; ordinary people, small business people, people like us can infringe the copyrights of others by grabbing an image from the Internet, playing music in public without a license, using a famous cartoon character on a webpage, posting others’ materials on social media… Copyright in our Digital Age is complex and confusing; there are many myths and misunderstandings. The rapidly evolving technology enables us to find content easily, but we can be easily found using that content without permission.
