Copyright is one of the most complex, confusing and broadly applicable areas of law. Copyright protection vests in even the smallest amount of creativity, and with the proliferation of electronic media, your employees and clients have unprecedented access to these protected works. As a result, it is easier than ever for you, your clients or your company's employees to infringe the copyrights of others. Also, with one click of a mouse, a nameless, faceless internet surfer on the other side of the world can easily infringe your rights. This teleconference helps anyone responsible for creating works or approving those works to understand the basic principles of copyright law. We will outline how to implement basic copyright protection and enforcement strategies, while avoiding common pitfalls. We will review simple steps for minimizing risk, while maximizing the creativity of your company's materials. Plus, we will discuss simple contracts and proactive legal steps that can protect your interests and your creative materials. This teleconference is invaluable to any person or company that downloads materials from the internet or produces any type of copyrightable works, including letters, advertising, articles, presentations, or any other type of materials which can be viewed or accessed by others.
