The Journal of Biocommunication has posted on their website an unprecedented issue devoted to just one topic "artist's rights". This issue focuses on aspects of artists’ rights, and broadly covers subjects of illustrators’ rights during the late 1800s. They have also included several articles from prominent individuals in the field like Brad Holland, Cynthia Turner, Bruce Lehman, Terrence Brown and Chris Castle, that discuss more recent issues surrounding existing copyright law, copyright registration, artists’ rights, and the recent attempts to pass U.S. Orphan Works legislation.
To understand what is going on in our industry it is important to know where we have been. These five articles best outline in greta detail the issues artists are facing and should be read by everyone.
