Michele Bogre, a lawyer and teacher at Parsons where she was dean of the photography department, has created a website that may be just as or even more helpful for those who are just starting to navigate the world of copyright.
Believe me, it’s important. Obviously, it’s important to folks who make their income from their photography. But, believe me, your Facebook pictures can end up in an ad in some distant country.
