Apologies for cross-posting
Join us for the next CopyTalk on Thursday, December 7.
We have another cool CopyTalk planned for December 7th! Mark your calendars
for 2pm Eastern/11:00am Pacific time for our one-hour session on the public
domain.
We often assume that older works are in the public domain, but how can we
know for sure? Peter Hirtle, the author of the frequently cited resource,
"Copyright Term and the Public Domain in the United States <
https://copyright.cornell.edu/publicdomain>"t;", will provide an overview of
the public domain: what it is, how works rise into it, what is copyright
renewal, and some of the common mistakes he has made when trying to
determine the public domain status of a work.
Peter Hirtle is an Affiliate Fellow of the Berkman Center for Internet and
Society at Harvard University. Until his retirement from Cornell in 2015,
he served as Senior Policy Advisor to the Cornell University Library with a
special mandate to address intellectual property issues. He is an archivist
by training with an MA in History from Johns Hopkins and an MLS with a
concentration in archival science from the University of Maryland. Hirtle
is a Fellow and Past President of the Society of American Archivists and is
a member of its Working Group on Intellectual Property. He was a member of
the Copyright Office's Section 108 Study Group and a contributing author to
the
LibraryLaw.com blog.
Day/Time: Thursday, December 7th at 2pm Eastern/11am Pacific for our hour
long free webinar. Go to
