About Us

Mission Statement


As we forged through dense legal books and government websites to gain a comprehensive understanding of copyright, we realized how inaccessible and daunting much of this information can be. We decided that it would be beneficial, not only to us but likely to other folk who may encounter some of these issues in their own personal or work lives. This website is a product of our endeavors to demystify common copyright and intellectual property law in a simple, accessible manner.
