Latest Creator Spotlight Blogs (Their Stories Matter!)

Over the past decade, we have published hundreds of Creator Spotlight blogs that profile what it’s like to be a creator, from their workflow to making a living to being impacted by infringement. Check out some of the recent blogs below!

We provide numerous resources for those who join the Copyright Alliance as a Creator Member for FREE, as we want every musician, photographer, artist, author, filmmaker, and more to have access to the knowledge needed to protect their work.
