In this episode I simplify how Copyrights Work and I help remove some of the guilt and fear around not filing! Earning money from art again and again is possible when you own the copyrights.

I talk about how we sold a small painting for $450 in 2001 and since then licensed and sold reproductions that earned $250,000 from that very same painting!

Filing copyrights can be done in the USA online at copyright.gov.  I share a little about this as well.
