Mississippi has some fantastically creative individuals. We want to protect all those ideas by talking about intellectual property. Get your questions ready all you song writers, artists, poets.

You might want to check out the 2020 Mississippi Code; Title 97 – Crimes; Chapter 45 - Computer Crimes and Identity Theft;section 97-45-9. Offense against intellectual property; penalties There’s some big money fines for in appropriate actions.One thing that I love about Mississippi is our music history. So many artists and such rich history are a part of our story. If you’re interested in learning more – take a little field trip to a Mississippi Country Music Trail or Mississippi Blues Trail marker.
