Course Description
This master class will help clarify what rights artists and professionals have as creators and/or users, as well as what the public is free to take from their work.
Students will also learn what to do if someone copies their work and what to do if they are accused of copying someone else. Finally, the course will discuss how technology has changed copyright for the better (and worse) and how copyright laws may change in the coming years.
From the concept of Fair Use and to know when it applies and when it doesn’t, to the description of the various aspects involved in a copyright lawsuit. In fact, the master class objective is to answer to questions like: what is protected by copyright and what is not? In what circumstances can you reuse copyrighted material without permission or payment? How do collecting societies work? And how can you make money as a musician through licensing deals, self-publishing or giving your music away?
