More about this speaker

Copyright

  • Who owns a photo or text? Can you use it for work, for private or not at all? If you are depicted in a photo, is it then automatically yours? And can you share it on social media? Or can you get fined or even end up in a lawsuit? These questions have never been more relevant. Every single day, we use and share other people’s videos and pictures on social media, we copy text from news websites to send to friends or colleagues. But can we get in trouble for using other people’s intellectual property? Merel gives an interactive and educational session about copyright with the question: ‘Is copyright still viable in the future?’ as guidance.
