On Copyright and Transformative Use (Part I)

Welcome to AccelPro IP Law, where we provide expert interviews and coaching to accelerate your professional development. Today we’re featuring a conversation with professor Ann Bartow. 

In this interview, Bartow discusses intellectual property law, copyright infringement, Campbell vs. Acuff-Rose, Weird Al Yankovic and questions of parody versus satire. Bartow is especially interested in the long-term consequences of Campbell v. Acuff-Rose and how 2 Live Crew’s version of “Oh, Pretty Woman” became an important pivot point for musicians making creative works.
