About the Course

Copyright questions about different formats (data, images, music and video) can be especially difficult. Sometimes the law specifically distinguishes between these different formats, and in most cases there are media-specific considerations that impact a copyright analysis. In this course we will look at four different media, paying special attention to the unique issues for each one and the kinds of information that is important when making copyright decisions for each type of material. We will work through fair use issues for each multimedia format, look at format-specific exceptions in the law, and consider unique issues for seeking permission for film, music, images and data. At the end of this course, participants will have a deeper understanding of how to apply our framework for making copyright decisions, and will be more comfortable with assessing multimedia issues. They will have gained more and more diverse experience for considering fair use....

Awesome informational class if you're interested in Intellectual Property or just Law in general. Totally suitable for a 14 year old like me so you should be able to do it too!

Very informative. It's like opening a can of worms. I find myself questioning my approach to making art and how convoluted sharing on social media makes copyright.

Professors have put an amazing attitude and care for this program. My suggestions: It will be amazing to include something about how AI is changing law and multimedia copyrighting, some tests are testing memory or reading comprehension so some things can be more practical, AI in future should replace to memorize every paragraph from the law, you will submit your case an app will show you the resolution, that is why I suggest this program maybe how more actively put copyright elements or using existing platforms to copyright your material as a creative or artist.

While the information was useful, one of the professors had the voice of gravel and was like listening to nails on a chalkboard. The written text is out of date, and not formatted appropriately to modern standards- the second you see 2 spaces after a period, you should know this was written in the last century. Almost all of the "examples" in the course were from 2008 or before with "Youtube" being the most "modern" thing mentioned. For the love of god most of the movies mentioned were from the 90s. This was like watching Boomers talk about by-gone eras. Far better content is available on Youtube for copyright law... which is ironic.
