This 2010 intellectual property rights refresher will dissect new domestic and international copyright issues and provide you with the tools to problem-solve your own copyright questions.

Arriba and Bill Graham Archives.. * Use of museum content by 3rd parties with relevant cases such as the Prince/YouTube controversy and the National Portrait Gallery's (UK) cease and desist request; we will explore distinctions among commercial, scholarly, personal, non-commercial, and educational use; use of the museum's name; remixing museum content and more. * Appropriation Art: a fair use or infringement with relevant cases such as Rogers v. Koons and Shepard Fairey v. Associated Press; we will examine the four-factors and other issues such as creating copies of artworks while litigation continues. * Audiovisual works and sound recordings in exhibitions and we will examine issues such as public performance vs. display (copyright law definitions); ASCAP, BMI, SESAC licenses; and more.
