Ever wanted to pen a novel or code a video game? Maybe you are an artist or architect? Copyright law affects musicians, photographers, and software developers alike. As such, copyrights offer unique and fun protection for your works of authorship created while at MIT. Join Dan Dardani, Technology Licensing Officer and Coordinator of Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab in an overview of the copyright -- its history, use, and relevance to the MIT Community as a form of intellectual property. We will explore the nature of originality, doctrine of fair use, how copyrights mesh with the digital age, and more. All are welcomed.  Please register at: http://tlo.mit.edu/iapevents
