Freelance photographer, Alexander Blair, was assaulted and robbed on London Underground? His kit and livelihood was taken and he is still battling with his insurance company. We hear from Alexander and, Partner at the legal firm Briffa, Eamon Chawke, about his ordeal and what rights freelancers can lean on during challenging times.

Alexander and Éamon discuss: 
- The distinction between ‘physical’ (e.g. equipment) and ‘intellectual’ property (e.g. copyright in visual content)
- Crafting a written contract in advance, setting out the position regarding IP ownership, permitted use, and the remedies
- The proactive and reactive steps that freelancers should take to protect their property (unauthorized use of photos, videos, and other copyright content)

Freelancer Club is first and foremost a community where we celebrate, connect, and support creative freelancers. And that counts twice when it comes to the injustice being done against any of our members.
