Crash Course in Creative Law, Part 2: How do you to protect yourself and your content online? WWW doesn’t stand for wild wild west, although the world wide web can certainly feel that way. Having a basic understanding of the rapidly-changing rules and regulations of the internet is a must.

There’s a reason you became a designer, and it probably didn’t have anything to do with legalese. You’re an expert in color, fabric, floor plans and furniture schemes, not intellectual property and trademark protection. If you’re already confused, don’t fret. Angie Avard Turner, an actual lawyer for creative business owners who also owned a seven-figure wholesale company and is married to a designer, is here to be your legal sherpa. In this multi-part series, Angie will take you on a deep dive that runs through the most frequent issues designers face, like when you really ought to seek legal advice and how to choose the right attorney. Clients can be difficult enough, and legal troubles shouldn’t slow you down.

In this course, you will learn:
- What you have to have on your website to comply with the law and protect yourself
- Who owns your online and social media content, and how to protect it
- How to legally and respectfully re-post someone else’s content

After this class, you will have:
- A thorough understanding of the law that applies to intellectual property online and on social media
- The knowledge of how to protect yourself and your content
