I consider myself lucky to have creative friends and family who are musicians, authors, artists and entrepreneurs. As an intellectual property attorney, I find that I am often asked simple copyright and trademark questions by my creative friends and family and on this blog, I’d like to share these ‘IP Legal Freebies’ with you too.
I’m happy to let you know that in October, 2010 several of my blog posts were recognized as TOP MUSIC BLOGS on thetopdailyreviewer.com. And more recently, in the first week of January, the ASCAP Daily Brief featured one of my blog postings. I also regularly write articles and blog for artistshousemusic.org.
I practice law in New York (www.kasterlegal.com). My legal background includes civil and common law and I studied in New York, New Orleans (earning my JD) and London (earning my LL.M in international IP at Queen Mary University of London).

Hi Kiddo -
We just checked out your blog – love it.
Info explained clearly and you kept it light (especially for a topic that can be confusing)
Lillie said to tell you that she found it very helpful for the “lay person” like herself that knows very little about this subject. One thing we both agree that it is missing…(more info on the actual Legal Eagle Author of this blog – you)…
All the best and we will keep checking in
