Ep. 35: Justice for Artists: How Daniel Lachman Helps Creatives Fight Art Theft

In this powerful episode, Stacie talks with Daniel Lachman, founder of Justice for Artists, about the heartbreaking and unfortunately common experience of having your artwork stolen. Daniel shares his journey from viral t-shirt success to fighting counterfeiters, and how he turned a personal struggle into a full-blown mission to help other artists get the justice (and compensation) they deserve. If you've ever hesitated to share your work for fear it might be ripped off, or if you're unsure what to do when it happens, this episode is essential for you. Daniel pulls back the curtain on copyright law, litigation, and how artists can protect themselves without paying out of pocket.
