Description
In this course, we will examine four different media, paying special attention to the unique issues that each one presents, as well as the types of information that must be considered when making copyright decisions for each type of material. We will go over fair use issues for each multimedia format, look at format-specific legal exceptions, and consider unique issues for obtaining permission for film, music, images and data. Participants will have a better understanding of how to apply our framework for making copyright decisions and will be more comfortable assessing multimedia issues by the end of this course. They will have gained a wide range of experience in order to consider fair use.
