Fair Use and Balance in Copyright: Online Course Registration

["Olga Francois" <OFrancois@xxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

Don't miss out on the fall Copyright Management & Leadership courses which
include:

	Fair Use and Balance in Copyright: The Best Practices Model.
	http://cipcommunity.org/PA_PJ_FairUse.
	Dates: November 8-19, 2010 (Register by 10/29).
	Instructors: Patricia Aufderheide, Ph.D., & Peter Jaszi, J.D.

Description: What rights do new makers and users have to use copyrighted
material without permission or payment, and how do they convince their own
administrators that they have those rights? How risky is it to use those
rights, and how can those risks be mitigated? What's at stake in exercising
and defending fair use and other balancing features of copyright, and how does
the balancing concept fit into the evolution and current reality of copyright
law and practice?

The two pioneering academics who changed industry practice with best-practices
codes for fair use explain both the law and the importance of these new codes
as tools for practitioners. They describe how new makers of cultural material
are designing and employing best practices codes that help them use the rights
they have under law. They explain the historical and legal justifications for
the fair use right (including why a defense can be a right!), troubleshoot
interpretations and explore with you how this model could work in your
community.
