Peter H. Kang is a Partner in the San Francisco, California-based law firm of Sidley Austin LLP, where he specializes in intellectual property law.

Mr. Kang spoke by telephone this afternoon with Etopia Entertainment News and provided some thoughtful and up-to-date comments about the current state of the law regarding the rights of:

celebrities to control their public image(s)

people on the street vis a vis their inclusion in news and/or entertainment programming

advertisers to control the re-use and/or criticism of their broadcast and print ads

publishers of their own photos on social networking sites against both copyright infringement and invasion of privacy

Anyone interested in these and/or related issues of copyright and privacy protection in a time of nearly-ubiquitous cell-phone cameras, digital recording devices, surveillance cameras and related technologies can listen to this conversation with Peter Kang by clicking here
