SUMMARY:The Creative Process and Copyright
DESCRIPTION:Secure your spot here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-creative-process-and-copyright-tickets-1982314630422?aff=ebdsoporgprofile \nValuable Property Created Automatically and for Free \nThe creative process can produce a wide range of very different expressions: text\, drawings\, photos\, film and sound recordings\, software\, choreography\, and architectural renderings. An important but often overlooked result of the process is that copyright protection for all such expressions is provided under federal law automatically\, free of charge\, and without the need for any government filing\, or the engagement of lawyers. Something for free\, finally! \nAs part of the first module of the presentation\, the speaker will discuss how the creative process produces copyright protection automatically and for free plus what are the copyright rights and the power and value of each such right. In addition\, the speaker will cover what is in the public domain and how those components can be used freely in the creative process. The often referenced but widely misunderstood fair use right will be discussed. \nThe second module of the presentation will cover two topics of relevance to the creative process: the licensing of creative works and artificial intelligence. A license is a very versatile tool that defines what another or other can do with copyright-protected works. The care that must be exercised with the use of public artificial intelligence systems during the creative process will be discussed also. \nThis HYBRID event is offered in-person at the Lobo Rainforest Building and virtually via Zoom. \nLunch will be provided for in-person attendees. \nIf you plan to attend via Zoom\, you can join virtually using this link: https://us06web.zoom.us/i/81415063432pwd=an2aSTb9WncQSfdrNQsuaalVc8W220.1 \nAbout Charles Valauskas: \nCharles Valauskas is a partner in the Chicago law firm\, Valauskas Corder LLC. \nMr. Valauskas speaks on a regular basis throughout the world on technological and intellectual property topics.
