Practical International Copyright Law explains how to deal with international copyright issues within your library or or for or nonprofit organization.
While there is no “international copyright law” per se, there are legal implications whenever your use of copyright materials — your own or third-party content — extends beyond your country’s borders. Avoid international copyright violations by understanding how the system of international copyright works on a practical level.
Each e-lesson in the Practical International Copyright primer/refresher eTutorial provides up-to-date information on the topic listed, sets out fundamentals for that topic, has a self-marking quiz, and provides URLs for further reading. All of Copyrightlaws.com’s courses are aimed at empowering non lawyers to deal with copyright and licensing issues.
