APA | SD presents: Everything You Need to Know About eCO Registration* (*but were afraid to ask)
NO MORE EXCUSES.
JOIN APA SAN DIEGO FOR A COPYRIGHT REFRESHER.
Do you take your copyright seriously? Has your work ever been used without your permission? Do you file regularly? Ever? Don’t wait until your photography is stolen to acquaint yourself with copyright protection.
Intellectual property attorney Leslie Burns will walk you, step-by-step, through the process to register your copyrights using the eCO system. Registration is the key to protecting your work and getting paid for all those infringements you are finding! This presentation will show actual screenshots of a real registration so you will see what you need to do for a proper Group Registration of Published Photographs (the most complicated of the registrations).
Leslie will also explain the important details that can make or break your registration and point out common errors and myths. Bad registrations can turn your million-dollar suit into dust. Learn how to do them right!
Leslie Burns works primarily in copyright and resides in San Diego. She works closely with creative professionals on copyright and small business issues as a part of the Law Offices of Carolyn E. Wright, LLC (photoattorney.com). Leslie also presents and lectures to creative professionals and professional organizations on both legal and marketing issues.

EAT, DRINK & MERRY MERRY
Yes, the holiday season is upon us again. The days are shorter, summer is nothing but memory and it’s time for the annual APA | San Diego Holiday Party and Print Exchange. This is where you drink some better than average booze and walk away with a print created by one of California’s best photographers. Think about it: the price for a unique work of art is simply one of your prints. Join us and a benevolent jury of your peers at what is now a venerable tradition. Arrive at the Harrison Photographic Studio with a loose print and depart in the wee hours filled with winter cheer, your heart full of holiday spirit, and your hands clutching a wonderful new photograph. Like Christmas itself: it’s an age-old practice, a custom, and one of the wonderful things American Photographic Artists does for the San Diego creative community. WHEN: Friday, December 12th, 6:30 PM WHERE: Harrison Photographic Studios COST: Free to all RSVP or Questions? director@apasd.org |
