Your Copyright Rights
As the creator of an original work, whether a photograph, illustration, song, text or other work, your copyright rights are created the moment you create your work.
Get Paid for Your Work
When your rights are violated by a publishing company, whether intentionally or negligently, you have rights. We work to ensure you are properly paid pursuant to federal copyright laws.
We Will Litigate for You
While most cases reach a settlement, license or other resolution, we are not afraid to litigate on your behalf. Media companies know this, and should take your claim seriously.
Copyright Laws Protect Your Right to be Paid for Your Work
Here in the United States, creators of original works, such as photographers, artists, musicians, writers and more are entitled to copyright protection for their original work.
Many professionals, particularly photographers and videographers license their work to news outlets and other companies. When your work is illegally copied from that site and republished by another media company, you have rights.
We work with you and can assist you with the filing of a federal copyright application. If filed timely, this may entitle you to statutory damages.
We then pursue your claims and help achieve a favorable result for you, to get you paid for your hard work.
