The Copyright Act of 1976 was recently amended to accommodate digital educational transmissions.

BALANCING ACTS: Fair Use and Digital Content November 10 - November 21, 2003
Moderated by Georgia Harper
Manager, Intellectual Property Section of The University of Texas System Office of General Counsel

This workshop will introduce you to the counterpart of copyright: the lawful right to use copyright protected works owned by others without their permission. The confusion faced when determining the parameters of U.S. Copyright Act fair use provisions is often compounded when facing digital content. Where does the TEACH act end and fair use begin? Or should it be stated in reverse? Gain an in-depth understanding of the fair use issues facing higher education today and learn how to address them in the company of an expert.
