Legal areas to be covered include copyright, branding, trademark, right of publicity/privacy, trade secret/idea theft, fair use and advertising legal issues. U.S. law is the primary focus. Examples are presented to aid understanding of the practical implications of such legal issues in visual arts and web design.
