Copyright Law

Protecting your creative works and intellectual output.

Copyright Protection and Enforcement

What is copyright law? Copyright law protects original works of authorship, including literary, musical, dramatic, artistic, and other creative works. Under the U.S. Copyright Act, protection begins automatically when a work is fixed in a tangible medium — registration with the U.S. Copyright Office provides additional legal benefits, including the ability to seek statutory damages and attorney's fees in infringement actions. Copyright law governs reproduction rights, distribution, public performance, derivative works, and fair use. Sasha Brodsky provides counsel on copyright registration, licensing, protection, and enforcement for creators and businesses in Santa Cruz and California.
