Class Description
This day-long workshop will introduce photographers to the practical and legal issues surrounding copyright in the 21st century. Students will learn about the scope and the limitations of the protections that current law provides; how to identify and anticipate the issues surrounding sharing of works in this digital age; and how to share or protect their property rights in their works. While primarily a lecture based class, there will be ample breaks and time for questions.
