Learn the legal do's and don'ts of borrowing and sharing copyrighted online videos and images.

Most websites incorporate content that others have created - sometimes with permission, sometimes without it. Website owners and operators post photographs, screen grabs or GIFs from other sources, incorporate content from social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, embed videos from video-sharing sites and reappropriate content in many other ways. Users also post their own text, images, videos and other material on the sites - which may also use third-party content. This panel will discuss:

Potential areas of legal exposure from using third-party content, based on copyright, trademark, privacy/publicity, libel and other areas of law, that websites should know about
Possible legal defenses that allow sites to use third-party content in many circumstances, including fair use, public domain and the legal protections offered by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and the Communications Decency Act
Best practices for steering clear of liability and taking advantage of these legal protections
As with all events in NYTECH's legal track, the goal of this presentation is to assist non-lawyers in recognizing and understanding some of the important legal issues confronting their businesses. With ample time for Q&A and networking, this session will be an outstanding source of practical, real-world guidance and useful contacts.

SPEAKERS
