Description
Gain insight into what copyright is, how to identify copyrightable subject matter, and make sure you or your clients own the copyrights.
Many people are inadvertently or unknowingly committing copyright infringement by appropriating protected works and using those works on social media, in school assignments, and in publications. On social media apps like YouTube and TikTok, users demonstrate a rampant misunderstanding of copyright law and how it applies to even minimal usage of protected works. This presentation will discuss what the Copyright Act protects, who benefits from those protections, what the penalties are for infringement, and why an infringers intent is irrelevant to determining liability.
