Video Clips From The Design Piracy Prohibition Act (DPPA) Panel
On Tuesday, April 20th, the California Fashion Association hosted a presentation and panel discussion on the Design Piracy Prohibition Act (DPPA), as part of the ‘Market Tuesday’ series for the California Market Center. I was honored to have been asked to speak, and I am working on posting some video clips.
I am still having some problems, but try these for now:

I was in the audience and thoroughly enjoyed the discussion. I share a similar point of view, as the board- this piracy law is a not going to protect or prevent any one- it will only lead to further off-shore sourcing/copying and the larger (well-financed) fashion houses shutting down start ups w/o the same backing/resources.
I think it's ironic that 'Andre' (booted off of project runway)- claimed everything he did was original. Really?? Wake up elitest!! We are in a post modern society where EVERTYHING we create/produce in apparel is a new interpretation/spin on existing inspirations.
Anyway- I follow your blog and it was great to see you in person and put a face to this persona! Keep up the great work!
Best regards- Jessica
