Glass Blowers Coming to Blows

Over the weekend Aaron and I gave a short talk about copyright law at the Newburyport Art Association. It went over well, we think, and the audience -- mostly local artists -- had some good, interesting questions, including whether copying an artist's style constitutes infringement (it generally does not). Next time we host one of these presentations we'll have some fresh material on that particular topic in this copyright infringement dispute between glass artist Dale Chihuly and his former assistants. Ann Althouse offers her thoughts, as does William Patry.
