DIGITAL LICENSING SEMINAR

COPYRIGHTLAWS.COM presents a seminar on:  Digital Licensing on OCTOBER 22,
1998 at the SAN JOSE MUSEUM OF ART.

This opportunity to attend in the bay area must not be missed!  It is the
one seminar anyone involved in the use of digital materials must attend!

Is your organization creating a Web site or CD-ROM?  Or are your photographs
or articles being used on someone else's Web site?  Whether your
organization is an owner or consumer of content on the Internet or CD-ROM,
now is the time to learn your legal rights and obligations, and the possible
variety of legal arrangements now in use.

In this seminar on digital licensing, participants will be led through a
clause by clause analysis of a typical licensing agreement.  The workshop
will examine:  licensing arrangements generally;  what uses of works can be
made through a licensing agreement;  sublicenses and secondary rights;
moral rights;  compensation;  duration of a licensing agreement; who owns
what;  revocation of rights in certain circumstances;  credits; and
warranties and indemnities.  Anyone involved in the use or licensing of
digital materials, including photographers, writers, Web site and CD-ROM
developers, those in museums, archives and libraries are encouraged to
attend.
