It's been long known that the music biz hasn’t held equal opportunities for all creators, especially when it comes to accessing protection. When your client’s content is stolen or misused, your first thought may be to file a lawsuit. However, most creators and businesses cannot afford to fight copyright infringement in federal court. ICYMI, a newly launched small-claims court, enacted by the CASE Act, makes this possible (and significantly more affordable) for anyone. Join Jessica Sobhraj, Co-Founder and CEO, of Cosynd for this quick crash course on everything managers should know about the CCB, how it works, and the factors you should assess to determine whether it’s the right option for your client.
