Copyright

During the expert session,  Merel Teunissen engages the audience through methods like a Q&A session.

• Understanding Copyright Law: Gain clarity on what copyright entails, including the rights of content creators and the limitations of using others' work.

• Future Viability: Explore the future of copyright in the digital age and consider how evolving technologies and societal changes might impact intellectual property laws.

In today's digital age, the questions surrounding ownership and use of photos, texts, and other intellectual property have become increasingly significant. Can you use a photo or text for work, private purposes, or not at all? If you are depicted in a photo, does that mean you own it automatically? And can you freely share it on social media, or could this lead to fines or lawsuits? These questions have never been more relevant as we routinely use and share others' videos, pictures, and texts online.

In this interactive and educational session, Merel will delve into the intricacies of copyright law. She will address whether using other people's intellectual property can land you in legal trouble, and explain the nuances of what constitutes fair use versus infringement. The session will explore common scenarios, such as copying text from news websites to send to friends or colleagues, and sharing images and videos on social media platforms.

Merel will guide attendees through the legal landscape of copyright, helping them understand their rights and responsibilities. She will pose the thought-provoking question: "Is copyright still viable in the future?" By examining current practices and legal standards, participants will gain a clearer understanding of how to navigate the complex world of intellectual property in both their personal and professional lives.
