“What do Top Gun, Maverick, Zootopia, Coming to America and Avatar have in common? Copyright issues! Come along to hear more about how copyright plays into the creative and financial potential of your work, what it protects, and what to look for as you're protecting your artistic and intellectual property."
Curious about copyright? One of the challenges we creative people face is that common knowledge of copyright is sometimes at variance with the actual law, leading to misunderstandings, infringements and confusion.
Let's talk about knowing and protecting our rights, why they exist and the cultural and financial value of our work and rights.
We'll also discuss user privileges, and understand how to determine infringement. In this engaging session, funded by Manatū Taonga Ministry of Culture and Heritage, and presented by Copyright Licensing New Zealand (CLNZ), Karen Workman will be giving us an overview of our rights as creators, building our basic understanding of Copyright and guiding stronger business practices.
Let's demystify the Copyright Act, and learn how to "do the right thing" as we sharpen our business acumen and build a stronger creative platform.
This event is free to PASC and SMSG members, and a koha at the door for non-members.
