Course Description

This introductory program provides a foundational and practical overview of Copyright Law, examining the legal mechanisms used to protect original works of authorship, creativity, and artistic expression. It is designed to equip creators, artists, writers, software developers, and business owners with the essential knowledge needed to understand their rights and the rights of others. The course explores the scope and subject matter of copyright (what can and cannot be protected), the automatic nature of copyright creation, and the importance of registration in enforcement.

Key topics include the distinction between the idea and the expression (the core tenet of copyright), the duration of protection, the concepts of infringement and piracy, and the crucial legal defense of fair use or fair dealing. This award is ideal for individuals seeking a basic, practical understanding of copyright to protect their creative work or to ensure legal compliance in their professional activities.

  4. Analyze and apply the crucial legal defense of Fair Use or Fair Dealing in various contexts (e.g., education, commentary, criticism).
