Back to the Future: The 1976 Copyright Act and the Internet
Guest Speaker: Amanda Levendowski from the NYU Technology Law & Policy Clinic

Program Description

It’s been 40 years since the 1976 Copyright Act passed and while the way we create, display, distribute, perform, repurpose, and share scholarly and creative content has changed dramatically, the basic tenants of the 1976 act still serve as the basis for copyright law today.
Join the CUNY Copyright Committee and the LACUNY Scholarly Communications Roundtable for a special presentation and discussion on the intersection of the 1976 act, its famous “fair use” provision, and the work of librarians and information professionals.
