Introducing Rachel Brenke’s The Law Tog & BizRevamp

by

Rachel Brenke's The Law Tog has helped scores of photographers to get legally legitimate. If you were working without a contract, she can hook you up. If you have a legal question about delivering files or photographing minors, she always has a ready answer on her popular blog.

Rachel Brenke, The Law TogRecently I had an issue where some of my content from this blog suddenly appeared on another site. I had not given the other website my approval to copy and paste my content. So, I approached Rachel and asked her what I should do about it. She gave me two solutions: 1) try and contact the other blogger and ask that the content be taken down and 2) to check out Google's DMCA website, which essentially allows a copyright holder to complain about an offending website. I did both and voilá, the content on the other site disappeared!

I spoke with Rachel about the importance of contracts for photographers. Here is that discussion:

Today, Rachel is doing two things that you should pay attention to:

1) She is relaunching her online course, BizRevamp for photographers.
