The fair use phenomenon has grown enormously in the last few years, allowing for the limited use of copyrighted material in another author's work without requiring permission from the rights holders. Join entertainment attorney Michael C. Donaldson for a legalese-free evening dedicated to the latest news in fair use and other important aspects of clearance and copyright. It's a must-attend-event for all producers, directors, and writerswhether they make feature films, shorts, documentaries, television programs, music videos, or Internet content. Armed with this information, you can protect yourself and your work from disastrous legal actions and save thousands of dollars in attorney fees. You can even learn how to save money by exercising your rights to use certain materials without paying anyone. In August, The American Bar Association will publish a legal guidebook for the independent filmmaker written by Michael and his law partner Lisa Callif. Presented by the Writers Guild Foundation and the Writers Education Committee.
