Rapp on this: An introduction to copyright law

Our Guest blogger Paul Rapp continues to have a lot to say! This months article is an introduction to copyright law. See an excerpt below:

Every artist ought to have at least an elementary understanding of copyright law. Second only to an artwork's aesthetic qualities, it is copyright law that drives a work's value and integrity. This is so because copyright law establishes and defines what it is that the artist owns of his or her work, both while the artist possesses the work and after the work has been sold, or copied, displayed or performed. In future months, this column will hopefully shed some light on this deceptively complicated area of law, dispel common myths and misunderstandings, and discuss other legal areas that impact on the creative process as well as the business of art.

Thanks Paul!
