UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal
Abstract
Little-known California laws may impose extensive statutory requirements and labor regulations on purchasers of copyrightable works using written "Work Made for Hire" contracts. These laws may coalesce with other state labor regulations, springing a costly trap on unwary users/buyers of coprightable works. Attorneys representing artist/employee clients can make artful use of the California "Work Made for Hire" laws to achieve for them a sort of "poetic justice."
