Copyright was created as a legal response to the invention of the printing press to protect authors and their writings. It continues to evolve in response to advances in technology. In this webinar, you will learn how the definitions of ‘author’ and ‘writing’ have expanded to include or exclude new technologies. We will explore issues of authorship and artificial intelligence, and also the classification of computer codes as writings. We will then review how the Supreme Court applied the copyright law doctrine of “fair use” to the digital domain in the recent case of Google v. Oracle. You will also learn about the interface between copyright law and the recent colorful rise of NFTs (non-fungible tokens). Before exploring these hot copyright topics, Reid includes an introduction to copyright basics that makes this seminar accessible for all practitioners. Reid uses historic images and her original artwork to illustrate the webinar’s topics.
