Rate My Professor Wellett Potter

Potter's research specializations include copyright law, intellectual property, technology law, artificial intelligence, music and IP, and biotechnology. Her work addresses AI-driven creativity's impact on Australian copyright, limits of copyright for digital replicas such as voice clones and deepfakes, personality-rights protections for identity harms, originality, authorship and ownership in generative AI including ChatGPT outputs and AI-generated music, training data governance, industry data deals, and ramifications for creators, using case studies like Taylor Swift’s ‘Taylor’s Version’ re-recordings on intellectual property, contracts, moral rights and artistic control. Extending earlier focus on database copyright, remix culture, music borrowing, mash-ups, NFTs and virtual assets, her scholarship combines doctrinal and comparative analysis with law-reform orientation. Key peer-reviewed publications comprise forthcoming articles: ‘An Analysis Of The Limits Of Australian Copyright In Relation To Digital Replicas - Voice Clones & Deepfakes’ (2025); ‘Australian Copyright’s New Frontier: Exploring Originality, Authorship And Ownership In The Age Of Generative AI Through The Lens Of ChatGPT Content’ (2025); ‘What Taylor Swift can teach us about copyright, contracts and moral rights: The story of ‘Taylor’s Version’ from an intellectual property perspective’. Other publications include ‘Pedestrians’ rights in the time of the e-scooter: What happened to the ‘foot’ in footpath?’ (2022, with C.N. Radavoi) and ‘How Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) Challenge Australian Copyright Law’ (2022). She shares insights via The Conversation, media and conferences, chairs the School of Law’s First-Year Committee, edits Law School Student Essentials, serves on AI and engagement committees, and supervises higher-degree research students. She teaches Intellectual Property Law (LAW323/LLM523), Foundations of Law (LAW100) and Fundamentals of Australia’s Common Law System (LLM533).
