"Hey Man, It's the Fuzz
The law sure can be fuzzy. That's why we've brought you two legal wizards who really understand what's up with the issues facing graphic designers. For most designers these revolve around copyright.
Learn how you can protect your copyright, exploit it, and resolve issues surrounding it. You'll also hear what you can do to ensure your clients protect your work and treat it as a valuable asset. After all, if clients fail to protect their identities they start to devalue design รถ and you as designer.
