Companies are stealing your content. They aren't even trying to hide it. Companies know that it can be daunting for independent artists to challenge them over copyright infringement. They're counting on it. It often comes down to a simple calculation: the chances of being caught and sued are slim and the damages available to artist plaintiffs are seldom higher than the cost of the advertising production. Current case law also makes it more difficult for content creators if the company is using their works in advertising. This panel will discuss what happens when a company steals your work and what independent artists can do about it.
