AW PhotographyYou are a new attorney, and your client, Amy Watson, is looking for legal recommendations to support her in understanding her rights and responsibilities as a photographer and as a business owner.She would like to use her photographs on her website to showcase her work, but she feels nervous about potentially violating copyright and intellectual property laws. She also wants to make sure she does not violate employee rights if there is an employee who does not want their photograph online. When Amy comes into your office, she brings a copy of her contract with Firm X that was drafted by another attorney she had been working with previously. Below is an excerpt from Amy’s contract with Firm X.COPYRIGHT AGREEMENTThe photographs produced by AW Photography are protected by federal copyright law (all rights reserved). If the client purchased an image DVD, the DVD purchase entitles the client to use the photographs on social media and websites as long as the images remain unaltered and textual credit is explicitly given to AW Photography. AW Photography maintains the right to its photographs, the company website, and social media sites to promote its business.REPRODUCTIONThe photographs taken are individual property of AW Photography. Photographs may not be reproduced in any form, or sold without prior explicit written permission from AW Photography.Future ConsiderationsCurrently, Amy operates her business as a sole proprietorship. She is the owner and has no employees. However, due to the growth of her business, her vision for the future includes potentially hiring someone to help manage day-to-day operations including scheduling, website maintenance, keeping of financial information, and oversight of potential future employees. In addition, she would like to hire two or three photographers so that she can book more photography sessions. Before she moves forward with her growth strategy, she is wondering if her new manager should actually be a business partner, and if her business should operate as a partnership instead of a sole proprietorship.Amy would like your legal support with business applications as she considers moving her company forward.

submit a brief weekly CA paper in two parts: (A) in about 250 words, summarize the weekly chapter and the required supplemental media (e.g., a reading, a video); upon synthesizing these, what essential substance did you take from the readings? (B) in about 250 words, consider a problem of social and personal responsibility with respect to the substance of the readings and describe your own feminist activist approach to solving it; these solutions should be as specific and action oriented as possible (e.g., don’t be afraid to use the word “I”) but grounded in understanding that oppression is a structural problem. These CA papers (10 overall) should be carefully considered, but they can be as informal in voice as you prefer. Please type and double space all CA papers.
