Going beyond the legal debates and jargon to provide filmmakers with tools that will facilitate their filmmaking, this panel will take the audience from the fundamentals of copyright law to the best practices to employ in the practical application of Fair Use, covering copyright law in a manner that is relevant and intelligible for the working filmmaker. It will cover such topics as licensing, clearance of copyrighted material, and how the principles of Fair Use are best applied. Led by Michael Donaldson of Donaldson and Hart.
