The Law of Dance – Interview with Poplaw

By MERLYNE JEAN-LOUIS, ESQ.

I recently participated in an exciting interview conducted by attorneys Desiree Talley and Tyrone Scott, the co-hosts of the innovative podcast Poplaw. We discussed two of my favorite things, dance and the law, by talking about how copyright law relates to choreography. 

Some topics covered include Azealia Banks’ accusation that Teyana Taylor stole some of the choreography Taylor used in the video for “Fade” (a song by Kanye West), the dance duo Les Twins, and the Martha Graham Dance Company.
