Matthew Rimmer<p>'Until the late 1980s Indigenous art was being ripped off left right and centre. It was open slather. First at the cheap end of the market on T-shirts and then on fancy carpets made in Vietnam. The rip-off merchants maintained black artists were just painting old patterns, so their work was for the taking. </p><p>The lawyer who proved them wrong was Colin Golvan AM, and his new book shares historical stories of Indigenous copyright infringement and his experiences travelling around, often to remote communities, to work with artists to fight for their rights. </p><p>Bronwyn Bancroft is one of Australia's most recognised First Nation artists and when she stumbled across the theft of her work, Colin took up the legal fight and they settled out of court. Bronwyn now mentors other Aboriginal artists to assert their copyright.' <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/latenightlive/colin-golvan-bronwyn-bancroft-late-night-live/104416602" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">abc.net.au/listen/programs/lat</span><span class="invisible">enightlive/colin-golvan-bronwyn-bancroft-late-night-live/104416602</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/IndigenousIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousIP</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/auslaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>auslaw</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a></p>
