Copyright Essentials: Myths Explained

There is a lot of misleading information out there about copyright. On September 18, 2024, the U.S. Copyright Office discussed what is and is not true when it comes to copyright. We want to make sure you have the facts and know where to go if you need more information.

In this webinar, the attendees learned about copyright basics and the Office’s functions and educational resources. The list of resources is available on our event page.

*Note: This was an updated version of our March Myths Explained webinar, back by popular demand.

Speakers:

  • Jessica Chinnadurai, Attorney-Advisor, Office of Public Information and Education
  • Laura Kaiser, Attorney-Advisor, Office of Public Information and Education

The Copyright Office aims to broaden public awareness of what the copyright system encompasses and how to participate. A cornerstone of our current strategic plan is Copyright for All, and the Office dedicates itself to making the copyright system as understandable and accessible to as many members of the public as possible.
