Event Description:

Fair use is an important exception found in U.S. copyright law that outlines specific factors to consider when looking to make use of copyrighted works. This series of virtual workshop meetings builds upon our introductory webinar on fair use and dives deep into the concepts and best practices involved in making fair use determinations.  The live, interactive format will give attendees ample opportunity for discussion and hands-on practice with this important topic.
