Copyright affects so much of the creative content we interact with and create... not just a painting we may see in a museum or a novel we are reading, but also the emails we ourselves send, the blogs and articles we write, and the photos we take and post.
In this webinar, presenter Kiowa Hammons discusses exceptions and limitations in U.S. copyright law, and the ways they play a part in how libraries operate. These include the first-sale doctrine, library exceptions under Section 108 of U.S. copyright law, and fair use. Some key takeaways are:
- How exceptions in U.S. copyright law grant libraries the ability to lend physical materials and make copies for patrons
- An examination of the four factors of fair use, and how they apply to specific copyright cases
- Ways in which copyright law has adapted to the digital age
This webinar is the second in a three-part series focusing on basic principles of U.S. copyright law and its impact on us as library professionals, and in our own creative lives.
Part 3, taking place live on Tuesday, March 29, 2022 from 4:00pm to 5:00pm ET, will cover licensing and risks. Register here.
