It is a non-profit organization providing artists, creative folks and
alternative media activists (my words) access to legal information.
They also have workshops in art/legal issues including the ever
popular "Copyright and the Law" and "What Every Photographer (and
Vlogger) Should Know About the Law."
There is legal referral service and a link to Powells for self-help
legal books.
I would think that NY would have an similar organization.

Don't we have the right to share our TV appearances with our friends,
fellow vloggers and Internet voyeurs?
