OW&E’s Linda Joy Kattwinkel will be making a presentation hosted by the California Lawyers for the Arts on August 12, 2021 on Zoom entitled “Hello Copyright: What Every Visual Artist Needs to Know About Copyright Law.” Register for the program here.
According to the program:
“We are all influenced by each other’s work. But where is the line between being inspired and illegal copying? Is infringement the same as plagiarism? What is -fair use’? Can I depict famous people? Is it okay to mimic famous artworks? What about working from photographs? Is it safe to scan images from the web if I digitally alter them? Can I use old images, or works from other countries? When is parody okay? What if I’m making a political statement? Is it safe to use copyrighted imagery in my collages? When is something in the ‘public domain’?
In this presentation, artist and arts attorney Linda Joy Kattwinkel will show us numerous examples of infringing and non-infringing case studies through side-by-side visual comparisons. “
