Tony Falzone is the Executive Director of the Fair Use Project and a lecturer at Stanford Law School. As an intellectual property lawyer, he has defended writers, publishers, filmmakers, musicians and video game makers against copyright, trademark, rights of publicity and other intellectual property claims.

He is currently representing RDR Books in copyright litigation against J.K. Rowling and Warner Brothers (which was tried in New York last April), and the producers and distributors of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed in litigation against Yoko Ono Lennon and EMI Records. This follows notable victories on behalf of Professor Carol Shloss in her lawsuit against the Estate of James Joyce, and on behalf of electronic musician BT in a copyright infringement case in the Southern District of New York.

In addition to litigating, Tony teaches Fair Use in Film at Stanford Law School, and advises documentary filmmakers, writers, artists and other content creators on fair use issues.
