Originally aired in September 2015.
This online presentation will cover the basics of copyright law, including ownership, transfer, licensing and the requirements to be considered a “work made for hire”. We will explore best practices for protecting your works from being infringed and how to avoid infringing others’ creations. Finally, we discuss the concept of “fair use”, the application of the fair use defense in the real world, and practical measures to maximize the value of your own copyrighted works.
