Just Wanna Create

This book looks at copyright through the eyes of creators and artists. Using quilting as a backdrop, the book looks in-depth at issues related to creating a work, protecting and work, and using others' work, including under fair use in copyright, trademark, and right of publicity. This book is made to give artists a strong foundation into understanding the system of copyright, how infringement works, when and how to register your works with the U.S. Copyright Office, and how to understand and use fair use. The second edition expands to include thinking through other areas beyond quilting.
