Webinar: Fair Use Gone Viral: Predicting the Future of Copyright

Logo for Fair Use Gone Viral webinar
This just popped into my inbox!  I am huge fan of Kenny Crews, so I've signed up for this and hope you will too.  The event is free.

Friday, March 26, 2021 2:00 pm
Eastern Daylight Time (New York, GMT-04:00) 

Description: Courts keep deciding cases—but the context of teaching, publishing, news reporting, and entertainment has changed radically during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of the legal challenges and consequences now unfolding will be with us long after the pandemic has ended. It’s incumbent on librarians and educators to develop an understanding of fair use that recognizes its strengths and flexibility. In this free webinar, esteemed copyright expert Kenneth D. Crews will lead you on an exploration of some of the latest legal cases involving fair use, considering new possibilities and their implications specifically for librarianship and education. You’ll learn the legal ramifications of what Crews has deemed an “evolving normal,” with heightened demand for remote education, work from home, and online content, and you’ll learn where fair use fits into these contexts.

Participants will receive a coupon for a $5 discount on Crews’s book Copyright Law for Librarians and Educators: Creative Strategies and Practical Solutions, Fourth Edition.
