This event is at 2:30PM PT/5:30PM ET

Join us for this session about intellectual property rights for artists, taught by law school professor and IP expert Christa Laser. Learn how to protect your copyrights, trademarks, and right of publicity and how to avoid stepping on legal landmines when practicing your art. You’ll also learn about fair use, when parodies are protected, and how to trade in and get paid for your intellectual property assets. Ticket proceeds go to the Steel City Arts Foundation.

Christa Laser is a professor of intellectual property law at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. Before teaching, she represented leading companies in patent, trademark, copyright, advertising law disputes at the law firms Kirkland & Ellis LLP and WilmerHale. Professor Laser’s scholarship has been cited by judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and in briefs to the U.S. Supreme Court. She has a personal passion for the arts, including photography, dance, and poetry.

ABOUT NOWHERE:

When COVID-19 hit, every comedian lost their ability to tour. Nowhere Comedy is a way around that - a full live comedy show experience from the comfort of your home (assuming your home is comfortable). Watch your favorite touring acts while they can't tour. And since there's no travel costs, tickets are more affordable to fans!

RULES AND PROCEDURES:

This show is limited, so don't wait to purchase your ticket.

Your ticket gets you access to the show on Zoom. Please make sure to download the Zoom app on your phone or computer ahead of time. We encourage the audience to keep their mics on so that everyone can hear the laughter. If your mic is on, please make sure you are in a quiet environment. If there is hum or background noise, try wearing headphones. You are welcome to have your video on or off. Please be respectful: if you interrupt the performance or do anything inappropriate on video you will be locked out of the show.

Upon purchase, you will be emailed a Zoom link - DO NOT SHARE IT. Only one person can use each link, and if more than one person tries to use it, both people will be locked out of the show.

DISCLAIMER:

Nowhere Comedy is providing a service via the use of Zoom’s platform, a platform we do not own or control. By purchasing a ticket you agree that any problems or issues caused by using zoom’s technology are not the responsibility of Nowhere Comedy, but if necessary can be taken up by you directly with Zoom itself.

By purchasing a ticket you are acknowledging you are aware audio and video of the show will be recorded, and you grant the comedians and Nowhere Comedy the irrevocable permission to utilize the footage and your likeness as contained therein, in any way, throughout the universe in perpetuity, so long as the context is not changed to alter the meaning of the original interaction, or to imply an endorsement of any kind. You are welcome to keep your camera off if you prefer not to be seen. That said, most shows will not utilize the recording for anything, as the shows are generally only seen live.
