DMLA (Digital Media Licensing Association) has traditionally been seen as a trade organization for picture agencies and distributors. Important to note that for a few years now, their programming and offerings are becoming more and more inclusive of the entire visual communications community. Their annual conference in the fall (October 22–24) has expanded programming that is sure to attract and be useful for anyone working in and around the world of licensing, imagery and copyright.
One does not have to wait for the Autumn however. In the DMLA online video library, there is a plethora of archived webinars and legal information videos led by industry experts, all there for one’s viewing pleasure and edification. And most all, free of charge. So grab a cuppa and peruse if you will.
