Come join the interactive fun as everyone plays one of the most challenging games in modern society… deciding when/where the Fair Use exception to copyright law allows the use of copyrighted materials without permission! (Actually, it’s often pretty easy, and this session will help.) Come meet our stellar expert panel who will explain it all & take your questions.

 

Please RSVP, and be sure to forward this message to your friends & colleagues with an interest in copyright & Fair Use.
