Gregory S. DeSantis, Playbill; Attorney Gregory S. DeSantis Breaks Down Copyright Law—and Just What Constitutes 'Fair Use'
"With theaters of all sizes closed, performing artists find themselves at home with an uptick in weekly screen time. Entrepreneurial-minded performers are attempting to benefit from this trend by producing more digital content than before.

However, anyone using another copyright- or trademark-protected work risks receiving cease and desist letters, monetary fines and potentially imprisonment when incorporating protected content into their online brand."

I'll be posting an upcoming piece shortly that focuses on some of these entrepreneurs.
Cosplayers (i.e. translation: costume-sporting fans) were in abundance (on a much-welcomed warm weather day!), as you can see from my pics:
True Story:
Kip: May I take your photo, Colonel Sanders?
"Colonel Sanders": Yes--if you can name the 11 herbs and spices in my Original Recipe?
Me: (laughing) Uh, Colonel Sanders, I can't name them... because they're protected as one of the world's most famous trade secrets.
Colonel Sanders: (Big grin--while high-fiving me!)
