Litigation Chair & Partner Aaron Moss was quoted by CNN discussing how online creators have recently been hit with copyright lawsuits. 

Excerpts:

The [Catherine Alexander tattoo artist] ruling calls into question the abilities of people with tattoos “to control the right to make or license realistic depictions of their own likenesses,” said Aaron J. Moss, a Hollywood litigation attorney specializing in copyright matters.

Blame the rise of remix culture. For most of the twentieth century, mass content was created and distributed by professionals,” said Moss. “Individuals were consumers. Legal issues were pretty straightforward. But, now, most of the time, the content is being repurposed, remixed or repackaged.”
