In a digital age, artists need to be more aware than ever of copyright laws and the legal issues that may affect their practice and the presentation of their work. The current Associated Press v. Shepard Fairey and the Patrick Cariou v. Richard Prince lawsuits, as well as the legal issues related to virtual gifts, Scribd, and web aggregators, clearly illustrate this. This two-hour class will focus on copyright law, with a primer on some of the more pressing legal concerns for artists today, such as the use of logos and images, the internet and websites, as well as moral rights. The issues raised by the Shepard Fairey and Richard Prince lawsuits will also be discussed.
