Copyright and Fair Use
Copyright lawyer David Koehser will discuss what every editor should know about copyright law, including:
- What is a copyright and how do you get one?
- What is (or is not) protected under copyright?
- Who owns a copyright and how do you transfer a copyright?
- How long does a copyright last?
- What is fair use?
- Are there other rights in addition to copyright that an editor should be aware of?
- What terms should be included in an editorial services contract?
- What about AI?
This meeting will be held as a Zoom webinar with automatic captioning available.
