Today's episode features the Emily D. Baker, former Deputy District Attorney now helping clients navigate the wild world of online business! She loves to talk about trademarks, terms of use, and other important legal issues for online business owners.

We are covering two major topics today:

1) Can you make stuff inspired by other brands (like Disney, Louis Vuitton, Coach, sports teams, universities, etc)? (The answer is no.) What happens if you do? What kind of action can they take? Will they sue you and take all your money? Will they have your website taken down? (The answer is: they can!)

2) What do I do if someone is stealing my designs? What kind of action can I take?
