PPA Participates in First Annual Copyright Exponential

Professional Photographers of America traveled to Washington, DC on October 11 to participate in the first annual Copyright Exponential sponsored by the Copyright Alliance. The event was widely attended by Congressional staff, members of the copyright community, and media.

Photographers, represented by both PPA and the American Society for Media Photographers (ASMP), were just one of many copyright industries represented at this event. The stage was shared with representatives of motion picture, sound recording, software, composers, book publishers, and the radio and television industries.

Attendees were addressed by Representative John Conyers (D-14th-MI), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee; Chris Israel, Coordinator for International Intellectual Property Enforcement, and copyright creators like Stuart Taylor, Jr., journalist and author, Lloyd Dangle, cartoonist and Fran Nevrkla of Phonographic Performance Ltd., a U.K. based music licensing company.
