In this two-part workshop, we'll cover an introduction to copyright law, as applied to visual materials, across analogue and digital forms, from basic principles, how to use and attribute images and their derivatives, how to protect our own materials from conception to commercialisation, and AI-related issues for images in the digital world.
These sessions are suitable for people without any background in Law, but will also provide worthwhile interest and insights for law specialists.
