Justice For Artists in San Carlos, San Diego is a copyright enforcement firm founded by Daniel Lachman that represents visual artists, illustrators, and product designers whose original work has been counterfeited or reproduced without authorization. Incorporated in February 2024 and headquartered at 7168 Ruane St, 92119, the firm works entirely on a contingency-fee basis, meaning artists pay nothing out of pocket and the firm collects only when a settlement is reached. Cases target unauthorized reproductions sold on e-commerce platforms including Amazon, Etsy, and Redbubble, where counterfeit inventory is manufactured overseas and shipped into U.S. distribution channels. Content creators and production studios across the San Carlos corridor, including Crystal Pyramid Productions, face the same intellectual-property exposure when original footage or graphics appear on unlicensed channels. The enforcement process begins with evidence preservation — purchasing the counterfeit product, screenshotting the listing before it disappears, and documenting the registered copyright through the U.S. Copyright Office at a registration cost of sixty-five dollars per work. Lachman previously operated a clothing brand and experienced large-scale counterfeiting of his own designs, which led him to build the firm to remove the financial barriers that prevent independent creators from pursuing statutory damages under 17 U.S.C. Section 504. The San Carlos location sits near Lake Murray Boulevard, east of the Cowles Mountain trailhead off Navajo Road, in the 92119 zone where a growing number of independent artists and remote designers maintain home studios. Settlements secured through the firm have reached six figures in cases involving mass-produced counterfeits, with account-freezing orders and federal lawsuits filed when sellers refuse to comply with takedown demands. Business liability coverage for creative studios, available through agencies on the Navajo Road corridor such as Pappazi Insurance Agency, can offset litigation costs in cases where the contingency model does not apply. Artists whose work is registered with the Copyright Office before infringement occurs gain access to statutory damages and attorney-fee recovery, making pre-registration the single most effective protection strategy.
