An Introduction to Copyright for Artists and Creatives

Join us for a session led by School of Law Lecturer Mitchell Longan focusing on the everyday application of copyright law.

We will cover a range of areas including:

• What is copyright? What types of works are covered? To what extent are you protected?
• How to register copyrights
• Licensing your work to others
• Using someone else’s copyrighted work - licensing vs fair dealing
• How to know if your copyright has been infringed

This workshop has been designed to be informative, practical, and accessible - there will be plenty of time for questions and conversation.
