Description

Hilarious political memes, cute pictures of kittens, parodies of popular songs and videos of just about anything – all available at the touch of a keyboard. Rampant use of images, sounds and videos are the new normal in our world, both in our personal and professional lives. But is it legal? Join our interactive discussion on fair use and the balance between the rights owners of copyrighted and trademarked works and the people who use these works to create new materials. Hear from in-house counsel in music, gaming and online reservation services companies about how they have handled the use and misuse of images, brands, videos, text and song within their own industries. Interact with counsel from Hong Kong to Honduras as we explore the limitations of fair use, and the possible solutions for advising your clients and in-house departments on creating the most clever and eye-catching products and promotions, within the confines of the fair use laws.
