On today’s podcast I speak with David Deal who is an intellectual property attorney specializing in copyright infringement matters on behalf of photographers and businesses throughout the US and Europe. Prior to becoming a lawyer David spent nearly 20 years working as a freelance photographer working with top publications and newspapers so he has a deep understanding of copyright issues that professional photographers deal with running a business. In this interview I speak to David about what lead him to a career in law and ways photographers can best protect their work from copyright infringement. I also speak to David about his work on the case of the late photographer Vivian Maier that he’s been working on for years. Copyright infringement is something that most photographers will deal with at some point in their careers so I was happy to get a chance to speak with a legal expert about ways to protect our work so I hope you enjoy this conversation and thanks for listening.
