It's fair! No it's not!

Dick Schulze '67

Jan/13 Wed 05:45PM-07:15PM 5-217

Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Sign-up by 01/13
Limited to 35 participants

UPOP mentor and MIT alum, Dick Schulze will give a one-hour presentation on the "Fair Use" doctrine in copyright and trademark law.

When is it fair to copy someone else's work, and when can you be hauled into court for doing it? This will be a humorous but also very serious look at new and old laws and court cases on parody in song, selling someone else's books, saying someone else's business sucks, and more.

 Questions from the audience are encouraged.
