Copyright Infringement

In Virginia federal courts, copyright infringement litigation has become increasingly common. The best intellectual property lawyers will tell you that while the creation of valuable intellectual property can take several years of hard work and marketing efforts, in today's digital age, all it takes to infringe on your copyrights is a click of the mouse.

To reproduce the work;
To prepare derivative works based upon the work;
To distribute copies of the work to the public;
To perform the work publicly;
To display the copyrighted work publicly; and
In the case of sound recordings, to perform the work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission.
