Copyright Infringement on Social Media: What Founders Need to Know
Your Next Social Media Post Could Cost You $150,000!
Most founders and business owners are one trending sound, one borrowed image, or one meme away from a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown, an account suspension, or a copyright infringement lawsuit that can reach $150,000 per work.
In this video, business and intellectual property attorney Jessica Eaves Mathews of Leverage Legal Group breaks down the copyright rules that apply to your social media content and dismantles the three most dangerous myths founders repeat every day, that online means free to use, that modifying content makes it yours, and that fair use is a marketing shield.
Learn how DMCA takedowns actually work, why statutory damages multiply by post, why claims often surface years later, and the four compliance moves every business must implement to stay protected.
Whether you are running Instagram or TikTok yourself, working with a marketing agency, or using AI to generate content, this video gives you the exact framework to post confidently without putting your brand at risk. Watch to the end for the offer to have your current content strategy reviewed before a takedown or lawsuit reaches you.
