Jules, Rachel, and Stephanie have a very special guest with them, Kiffanie Stahle J.D. to chat with us about what to do when you get a copycat and so much more!!
AS AN FYI - We strive for great audio, but sometimes tech doesn't want to work as well as we desire. In this recording, we had an occasional slow bandwidth, regardless of this occasional issue, we hope you find this fabulous and valuable, and we appreciate your patience.
If you have a question you'd like us to discuss feel free to email us at hello@artistssoar.com
Key talking points:
-
- Legal remedies are for them to stop, give a retroactive royalty license, or pay you money.
- There will be the mental, emotional, and potentially creative blocks that can come along with these situations.
- Never keep your work offline out of fear of copycats.
- To protect yourself:
- Register with U.S. Copyright office BEFORE a copycat strikes. This will then make the offender pay for attorney fees.
- Register BEFORE first publication.
- What to consider for Surface Pattern Design as derivative work.
- When to submit a DMCA takedown notice and who to submit it to.
- CASE Act small claims copycat court releases on 6/25/2022.
- Kiffanie addresses when is it worth engaging an attorney about a copycat.
- NFTs' role with a copycat falls more in line with an exclusive license. This is open for issues and a whole other discussion we hope to address in the future.
- What should mural artists consider with their copyrights - was it a "tricky work for hire". Really evaluate the agreement to see what you gave them permission to do.
- For more legal questions check out The Artist Courtyard Membership Community.
