| | | | | | | | | | Copyright Law for Creatives November 1, 2022 11:00am - 12:30pm Registration is NOW OPEN. Register for this workshop HERE
What is copyright? What does it do? Do I “own” copyright? Why does this matter? Copyright is a fundamental legal protection that gives creators the power to control access to their work. In this educational presentation, art lawyers will explain basic principles of copyright: what it is, what it protects, what protection entails, and how you can be proactive in securing copyright protection for your own creative work.
