With constantly changing laws and complicated terms, you almost have to be a copyright lawyer to be fluent with the plethora of rights and usage restrictions that apply to art-related media. Many artists don’t know how their works are protected under law or how these laws may apply to the creations of others. It’s important for the artist to be literate with basic copyright terms and to be conscientious of other artists’ rights.

I’ll be making a series of posts outlining some of the more commonly encountered copyright terms and their implications for the artist, along with links to helpful resources on the subject.
