Copyright Basics for Online Presentations

Ever find an image on the web and wonder if you can use it in a presentation? Have you shown a YouTube video in a course that is also being streamed online? Are you familiar with the TEACH Act? Do you know what “fair use” really means for you, your instructors and presenters or your organization? Yeah, it’s complicated. But it’s worth the effort to master the basics. Especially now when online presentations, e-learning and virtual courses are being delivered via live webcast and streaming video at an unprecedented rate. Join us for a live webinar with intellectual property attorney Joseph T. Leone. He’ll help you master the basics of webcasting copyright, and touch on some recent cases that shed new light. • What types of content (photos, images, screenshots, videos) can be used safely in an online presentation without author permission? And what content definitely cannot be used? • What’s in the grey zone and what factors dictate how grey is too grey? • Is there a difference between fair use for face-to-face instruction vs. online, hybrid or blended? • After a presentation has been streamed online, who owns it? And what happens if it shows up in someone else’s presentation?
