ASMP has launched a new initiative called Registration ©ounts to create awareness of copyright issues, to encourage all photographers to register their work, and to provide the tools and information needed for registration.
Save the date — April 21, 2010
The American Society of Media Photographers presents an important symposium addressing the sweeping changes in the way images are used and distributed:
Copyright and the New Economy: Issues & Trends Facing Visual Artists
ASMP will bring together thought leaders representing different points of view on the subject of copyright to explore its significant issues, challenges and trends. ASMP believes that, in the face of sweeping changes in the way images are used and distributed, much can be gained by establishing a dialogue among representatives of the visual arts community, legal and governmental experts, and the publishing industry. This symposium is intended to seek sustainable business solutions by engaging in an important conversation about economic shifts in the industry, the current state of copyright, and what the future holds for those who produce and use visual works.
