Vondran Legal® - VARA Copyright Law Firm - Kerson vs. Vermont Law School - the Underground Railroad Mural. If you have a legal issue involving art law, paintings, scultpures or illustrations, call us at (877) 276-5084. The Visual Artists Rights Act (VARA) is a United States copyright law that was enacted in 1990. It was introduced to protect visual artists and their artwork from destruction, mutilation, or modification that could harm an artist's honor or reputation. VARA grants certain rights to artists, including the right to prevent the destruction, distortion, or modification of their artwork, and the right to be credited as the author of their works. The history of VARA can be traced back to the early 20th century when modern art movements like Cubism and Surrealism emerged. These groundbreaking art forms challenged traditional notions of representation and pushed the boundaries of artistic expression. However, artists often faced significant criticism, and their works were sometimes destroyed or modified without their consent, leading to infringement of their artistic integrity. In response to such incidents, artists and art collectors began advocating for legal protection of an artist's moral rights, which had been recognized in some European countries. Moral rights refer to an artist's non-economic rights, such as the right to claim authorship and to prevent the distortion or modification of their work. The concept of moral rights was enshrined in the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works in 1928, which established international copyright standards.

Vondran Legal® Free Speech Law Firm [California | Arizona] Call us at (877) 276-5084. To prevail in a free speech deprivation case under 42 U.S.C. 1983 in the Ninth Circuit, a plaintiff must typically prove the following elements: 1. The plaintiff was engaged in protected speech or expression. 2. The defendant, acting under the color of state law, deprived the plaintiff of that protected speech. 3. The deprivation of the plaintiff's protected speech was intentional or willful. 4. The deprivation caused an injury or harm to the plaintiff. Additionally, it is important to note that the Ninth Circuit has adopted a four-part test to analyze whether a government action violates the First Amendment: 1. Is the action capable of chilling protected speech or expression? 2. Does the action in fact chill protected speech? 3. Is the action reasonably related to a legitimate penological or governmental interest? 4. Are there alternative means to exercise the protected speech? If the plaintiff can establish these elements, they may prevail in their free speech deprivation case under 42 U.S.C. 1983 in the Ninth Circuit. However, it is essential to consult with an attorney to fully understand and navigate the specific legal requirements in a particular case. For more information visit us at FreeSpeechFirm.com

Attorney Steve® Fair Use Parody Cases - The Mattel Barbie case found to be a fair use for Defendant. This is general legal information only and not legal advice. "A parody is a "literary or artistic work that imitates the characteristic style of an author or a work for comic effect or ridicule." Id.at 580, 114 S.Ct. 1164 (quoting AMERICAN HERITAGE DICTIONARY 1317 (3d. 1992)). For the purposes of copyright law, a parodist may claim fair use where he or she uses some of the "elements of a prior author's composition to create a new one that, at least in part, comments on that author's works."Id.The original work need not be the sole subject of the parody; the parody "may loosely target an original" as long as the parody "reasonably could be perceived as commenting on the original or criticizing it, to some degree."Id.at 580-81, 583, 114 S.Ct. 1164. That a parody is in bad taste is not relevant to whether it constitutes fair use; "it would be a dangerous undertaking for persons trained only to the law to constitute themselves final judges of the worth of [a work]."Id.at 582-83, 114 S.Ct. 1164 (quotingBleistein v.Donaldson Lithographing Co.,(1903))."
