RIP-OFF OR FAIR USE? COPYRIGHT LAW, PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE VISUAL ARTS
August 6, 2015 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
$20.00From the CSUSA Website:
“Join the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance and the Philadelphia Chapter of the Copyright Society of the USA in a joint event welcoming Nancy Wolff, law partner at Cowan, Debaets, Abrahams, & Sheppard, LLP, artist David Graham, and Philly Photo Arts Center’s Director Sarah Stolfa for this conversation on the newest developments in fair use and copyright law in the realm of photography. When is appropriation of someone else’s work of art allowed under copyright law, and when is it not? Is reconfiguration of a scene an infringement? Are “copyleft” business models in photography affecting the public’s perception of artist’s rights? These have become increasingly complicated issues, especially as new technologies make display, reproduction and distribution so easy.”
