In Defense of Art

Like the trolls in folklore, copyright trolls seek tolls from all who pass by. Copyright trolls are an unfortunate byproduct of the Copyright Act; the Act creates an opportunity for a business model that does not fit within the purpose of the Copyright Act.

OVLA believes that Black lives matter. We mourn and are outraged at the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless other Black Americans who have been murdered or harmed by systemic racism and brutal law enforcement practices. We stand in solidarity with the Black community and those exercising their constitutional right to protest against racial injustice.

OVLA is committed to safely continuing its mission during this time. To do so, we are temporarily taking the several steps.
