Virtual Copyright Education Center Pilot Project

 

Fair Use class now open for registration

 

No Fear Fair Use

10/18/2021 1:00pm – 2:30pm Eastern

Sandra Aya Enimil, Copyright Librarian and Contracting Specialist at Yale University Library

Kyle K. Courtney, Copyright Advisor at Harvard University

 

Imagine if all creators had to wait for a copyrighted work to be in the public domain before they quoted that work? Or if users always had to seek permission, and that permission could be denied with no recourse? Copyright law’s fair use doctrine provides flexibility in the copyright system, allowing use of copyrighted materials during the copyright term without permission from the copyright owner.

The famous fair use four factors outline the ambit of this right, but there is still uncertainty about how to apply the factors in practice. This uncertainty often leaves cultural institutions with policies that are either overly restrictive, limiting patron services and discouraging new creations, or overly permissive, potentially subjecting the organization to liability.

This class aims to dispel the myths surrounding fair use and empower, enhance, and increase attendees’ confidence when handling the wide array of fair use focused questions and policies.
