The deadline for responses to the
Copyright Office’s April 24 Notice of Inquiry is rapidly approaching. ASMP needs more information from photographers about the problems they have encountered in protecting their copyright.
ASMP and a coalition of artists’ organizations have been hard at work on a unified response to this critical opportunity for us to help shape what coming legislation looks like.
Help us create a greater impact by sharing your stories about:
- obstacles that keep you from registering your copyrights regularly
- experiences you’ve had with take down notices or cease and desist letters
- difficulties finding attorneys willing to represent you against infringers
- challenges you’ve faced in trying to enforce your copyrights in Federal Court
- difficulty enforcing monetary judgements or collecting compensation from infringers
- or any other experiences you’ve had that would help inform the Copyright Office and Congress of the challenges facing photographers under the current system.
ASMP would like to share as many photographer’s stories as possible so they’ve extended the deadline to
Friday, July 17.
If you have not already written them, or have additional comments to share, please send your stories to:
pbclevtugersbez@nfzc.bet by Friday!
If you’re not already familiar with the issues, please read ASMP’s Copyright Reform webpage at
asmp.org/copyrightreform, particularly the
5 questions posed in the NOI.
