I want my work to be protected and used only when I want and how I want. But I also want it to be consumable in the new media. Confused like the rest of us?
If you make art for a living or are interested in the rapidly evolving rights for people who create stuff–and especially if you live in/around NYC–then point yourself at this FREE day-long symposium brought to you by the fine folks at ASMP. It’s on WEDNESDAY of this week. I’ll be presenting, talking about my personal experiences in the legal system as well as with the new media. But perhaps certainly more useful, there will be a panel and I’ll be lucky enough to be seated alongside the esteemed Harvard Law professor/founder of the Creative Commons, Lawrence Lessig, plus a whole bunch of other talented and smart people above my pay grade and moral standing.

An fascinating chat is value analysis. I consider that you should enter more on this topic, it might not live a inviolable focus except typically those are not ample to speak taking place such topics. To the next. Cheers
Yeah, remember how music labels reacted when the iPod was first released? Of course you don’t want to totally cave and give everything away, but on the other hand if you don’t adapt to change you’ll screw yourself.
You can have all the usage rights you want–that’s up to you when you negotiate for the job. The problem is there are too many photographers and not enough work, plus a sour economy and ailing print media. So it’s difficult to get work unless you take less pay or less rights or both. Supply and demand…
