Rock the Courthouse, Rock the Courthouse: Music and Copyright Law
Manage episode 484167412 series 2918428
Get down with lawyers who rock, and some rock that led to lawsuits. Litigators Andrés Correa and Chris Patton of the Dallas firm Lynn Pinker Hurst & Schwegmann LLP are both rock and rollers and accomplished litigators.
Hear how they make time for their passion for music, but also how the outlet releases stress and opens paths to creative thinking and strategies they’ve applied to their legal career and legal cases. Their passion for music inspired them to cowrite the Litigation Journal article “Rock Around the Court: How Copyright Litigation Reflects the Muddy Origins of Rock ‘n’ Roll” that explores the legal issues surrounding music and creativity.
As those who came before influence styles later on, music copyright claims have led to legal cases that shape the world of music and art. Lawsuits continue to this day. What’s “inspiration” and what’s copyright infringement? From Elvis to Led Zepplin to today.
Now, imagine where the brave new world of AI is going to take us.
