Summary

CARI or Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute serves as an online community that has developed a visual lexicon to document the ephemera produced between 1970 and the present day. However, this research is crucial because artifacts repurposed for commercial gain without credit are no longer protected by fair use laws. Instead, these new creations will be subject to copyright enforcement by their original owners, meaning anyone attempting to sell or reuse these items without attribution may risk losing their intellectual property rights.
