"Highly Recommended. This program gives a general
overview of copyright law as it applies in various settings such as
education, libraries, and to the general public. The host and attorney are
very well spoken, and they seem to take care to avoid an excess of
'legalese.' They provide a very thorough explanation of copyright law,
understandable to the layperson. This program does a great job of giving a
clear overview of a complex topic; it would be great video for
training/continuing education for teachers or librarians, for class
discussion in law schools, or for anyone who needs a broad overview of
copyright law." -EMRO Review No one program can answer every person's questions about copyright; so this introductory program begins as a primer on copyright and fulfills all the prerequisites viewers will need in order to fully understand and learn from the other programs in this copyright series.
