All about art law! I begin the episode by discussing some intellectual property issues that artists may encounter and I analyze the famous copyright lawsuit involving the song "Oh, Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison and the 2 Live Crew parody song "Pretty Woman" (Campbell v. Acuff-Rose). Then I conduct my legal analysis of the various lawsuits that artist Jeff Koons faced. I end the episode by updating some outstanding lawsuits that I had discussed in previous episodes of this podcast series.
