Curious about copyright? One of the challenges we creative people face is that common knowledge of copyright is sometimes at variance with the actual law, leading to misunderstandings, infringements and confusion.
Let’s talk about knowing and protecting our rights, why they exist and the cultural and financial value of our work and rights. We’ll also discuss users’ privileges, and understand how to determine infringement.
The new Resale Royalty for Visual Artists legislation comes into force in December, and we need to understand how this will be enacted, and what it means for us.
In this engaging session, presented by Copyright Licensing New Zealand (CLNZ) and Resale Royalties Aotearoa, Karen Workman will be giving us an overview of our rights as creators, building our basic understanding of Copyright and using that information to build stronger artistic business practices.
The free workshop will be held at Toi Auaha, 30 September, 5.30pm – 7pm
