New this year! Fair Use Workshop, Thursday, February 10, 2:30pm

REGISTER NOW

Fair use--the right to use copyrighted material without permission or payment, under some fair usecircumstances, has saved many filmmakers money, without jeopardizing their own royalties. How does it work? Spend an afternoon learning how to make a fair use decision without a lawyer; finding out the latest news on employing fair use, and on DMCA exemptions that allow you to break encryption on a DVD; and testing out your fair use talents. Led by Patricia Aufderheide and Peter Jaszi, with CSM Grad Fellow Katie Bieze.
