"Only a couple of black folks dancing," and Other Copyright Controversies: A Conversation with Barbara Hoffman, Art Law Pioneer

This week's episode is with Barbara Hoffman, a pioneer in the art law field. We talk about everything from the "law of se," to the fair use doctrine, to strippers at the Pierre Hotel, and much more! And like any good lawyer, here are citations to the cases referenced during our chat:

[@5:10] Ringgold v. Black Entertainment Television, Inc., 126 F.3d 70 (2d Cir. 1997);

[@15:28] Agence France Presse v. Morel, No. 10 Civ. 2730 (WHP), 2011 WL 147718 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 14, 2011), No. 10-cv-2730 (AJN), 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 155416 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 3, 2014); and
