The Art Law Episode

All about art law! I begin the episode by discussing some intellectual property issues that artists may encounter and I analyze the famous copyright  lawsuit involving the song "Oh, Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison and the 2 Live Crew parody song "Pretty Woman" (Campbell v. Acuff-Rose).  Then I conduct my legal analysis of  the various lawsuits that artist Jeff Koons faced. I end the episode by updating some outstanding lawsuits that I had discussed in previous episodes of this podcast series.   This is the last episode of Season 1- stay tuned for Season 2 after Labor Day 2020- Thank you so much for listening!
