As of January 1st, California’s anti-paparazzi laws have
changed.
Photographers (and not just paparazzi!), and now the buyers of those
photographs, have greater liability under new amendments to
California's privacy laws. Whether you represent celebrities,
photographers, or media outlets, this program will provide you with
a practical explanation of AB524 (aka "Jennifer Aniston's Law," and
now part of California Civil Code Section 1708.8), an in-depth
discussion of the legal balancing act between the First Amendment
and the right to privacy in California, and an analysis regarding
the prosecution and defense against claims arising under
California's amended privacy laws.
