JULY 9, 2011: COPYRIGHT & LICENSING FOR VISUAL ARTISTS: MONETIZING YOUR
RIGHTS
With Alexandra Darraby, Esq.
We'll start by demystifying the Ten Biggest Myths About Copyright, and
then proceed to focus on practical explanations for artists and
galleries on the following issues: what copyright ownership really
means, what monetizing a copyright means, how to license a copyright,
and business strategies and pros and cons of licensing. We'll also
discuss what happens when you post your copyrighted work on the
Internet—have you exposed your copyright to foreign territory where
American copyright law does not apply, and, if so, what are the
ramifications? What are courts saying about "publication" in the web
world?
