ARE YOU A PIRATE?

There have been a lot of discussions of late regarding the rights and responsibilities of artists and the people who buy our artwork. So it is timely we cover copyright laws as explained in ‘Code of Practice for Artists and Dealers in Aotearoa/New Zealand’ published by the Artists Alliance, a now defunct non-profit organisation that was based in Ponsonby in Auckland, New Zealand.[1] Artists Alliance provided information, resources, career advice, networks, and advocacy for the visual artists of Aotearoa/New Zealand. Artists Alliance was also part of WeCreate[2] (the copyright coalition of New Zealand[3]).
