Raw Law
What is Raw Law about?
Raw Law is a series of factsheets that explore the main legal issues for creative people who are presenting their work in public, produced by Arts Access Victoria with Arts Law and Middletons as legal partners.
It is important for creative people to know what their legal rights are when producing and presenting their work, but it can be hard to know where to start. Raw Law provides simple, accessible legal information for people who experience major barriers to participating in the arts, including artists with a disability.
You may find Raw Law useful if you are an artist, musician, writer, filmmaker or performer.
Raw Law covers:
How to protect your work online
General legal information for visual artists, musicians, writers and filmmakers
What are the first steps you can take if you feel you need legal help, who you can to go for legal help and advice and a key words index to help you understand some relevant terms.
You can also learn about these topics in this Raw Law video (audio description & closed captions):
