How do you avoid legal issues and trouble?
Topics covered include intellectual property (copyright primarily) and fair use, various photography and visual art specific contracts (including commission agreements) and the rights of privacy (including street photography) and publicity, as well as entity choice and business formation including nonprofit and for profit options.
