Copyright Essentials: Myths Explained

There is a lot of misleading information out there about copyright. On September 18, 2024, the U.S. Copyright Office will discuss what is and is not true when it comes to copyright. We want to make sure you have the facts and know where to go if you need more information.

In this webinar, you will learn about copyright basics and the Office’s functions and educational resources. The list of resources we will be discussing will be available on our event page.

*Note: This is an updated version of our March Myths Explained webinar, back by popular demand.

Speakers:

  • Jessica Chinnadurai, Attorney-Advisor, Office of Public Information and Education
  • Laura Kaiser, Attorney-Advisor, Office of Public Information and Education

The Copyright Office aims to broaden public awareness of what the copyright system encompasses and how to participate. A cornerstone of our current strategic plan is Copyright for All, and the Office dedicates itself to making the copyright system as understandable and accessible to as many members of the public as possible.
