Copyright law protects original creative works from being used without permission of the copyright owner. The Fair Use provision in copyright law balances the rights of copyright owners with an effort to protect the public’s interest in having access to such works.

This seminar provides an understanding of how Fair Use applies to a wide range of content and new technologies. Between the purpose and character of the use, along with the nature of the work and the amount that is used, things can get confusing. Now throw in data mining and social media and nuances matter. We offer practical guidance concerning copyright infringement claims and the Fair Use defense.

Join the experts as we look at the examples, cases and advice for those involved in Fair Use cases.
