If there’s only thing I’ve learned teaching Millennials at Columbia College for over a decade now is never bluff. You will get called on your bullshit if you proport to have knowledge of a subject you do not. I am not an entertainment lawyer, nor do I play one on television. So when folks ask me about copyright issues I usually send them to www.copyright.gov for specifics.
Recently a class I teach at Columbia did an online workshop about Copyright and Intellectual Property issues and I’d like to share that with you in case you have some questions about either topic.
- COPYRIGHT IN GENERAL
Do I have to register with your office to be protected?
I’ve heard about the “poor man’s copyright”– what is it?
- REGISTERING A WORK
- WHAT DOES COPYRIGHT PROTECT?
- COPYRIGHT TOPICS & LINKS
- PATENTS
Lastly, here’s a great ten minute video on intellectual property, a crash course, beginner’s A to Z.
Hope it helps.
