Description

Before examining some of the hottest topics in copyright law, this program begins with an introduction to basic copyright law to make this program accessible to all practitioners. While existing copyright rules were originally created as a legal response to the invention of the printing press to protect ‘authors’ and their ‘writings’ we’ll discuss how those rules are now being applied to:

  • Determining the copyrightability of AI-generated works.
  • Whether the ingestion of copyrighted works used to train AI constitutes an infringement or is “fair use”.
  • Expanding the definitions of ‘author’ and ‘writing’ to include or exclude new technologies from copyright protection.

We will review the Supreme Court’s application of:

  • The copyright law doctrine of fair use to Andy Warhol’s creation of his colorful signature style portrait of Prince using rock and roll photographer Nan Goldsmith’s black and white studio portrait of Prince.
  • The fair use doctrine in the digital domain in the recent case of Google v. Oracle.

To enhance this webinar, Reid uses actual case exhibits and her original artwork to illustrate the webinar’s topics.
