Knowledge is power.With image theft rampant, it is vitally important that you know the facts regarding copyright protection and how to effectively exercise your rights. Too many times due to lack of information, mis-information or just plain carelessness, a photographer has been left defenseless, unable to take action against infringers. Don’t let this happen to you. Moderator Debra Weiss and an esteemed panel that will include IP Attorneys Jessica Darraby and Ed Greenberg, PLUS CEO Jeff Sedlik
and others will discuss the following:

Registration: How ToDo It And Why
What To Do When Your Image Has Been Infringed
