The Golden Rule (Fair Use, Re-Use, and New Use)

The Golden Rule (Fair Use, Re-Use, and New Use) [REGISTER]
February 26th. 4:30-6:00 pm.
Hatcher Graduate Library Lab, Room 100

When should you be able to use someone else’s work without permission? Does the answer change when it’s your art being used? The copyright concept of “Fair Use” is the law’s attempt to deal with this question, with mixed results of actual “fairness.” This session will first outline the law and contemporary examples and then discuss campus-based issues.

ArtsLab and the UM Copyright Office will be hosting a series of round-table discussions on topics ranging from intellectual property to business organization to art as an advocacy tool. These events will bring together interested students, staff, and faculty in 60 to 90 minute long sessions designed to introduce a topic and discuss the impact it has on creative arts, careers, and campus life. Even though we will be discussing legal and business topics, these sessions are not legal advice.
