Do you understand copyright and fair use? What does it mean when someone owns the copyright to a creative work?
Learn more about copyright on March 12th at our Refresh Detroit meetup, when local attorney Tifani Sadek presents an overview of copyright law and how it applies to web professionals.
Tifani will discuss the basics of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (PDF) and the ownership of written code.
Tifani Sadek is the principal attorney of Sadek Legal Services, PLC, a Detroit-based firm with a focus on serving startups, small businesses, and entrepreneurs.
She founded Sadek Legal in October 2013 after spending her career in large corporate law firms in Houston, Chicago, and Detroit. She also teaches at the University of Michigan Law School.
The event will be held from 6:30pm to 8:00pm and requires pre-registration by March 11. We’re meeting on the fourth floor of Grand Circus in downtown Detroit (map and directions). Tifani’s talk is expected to be a very popular event, so register early.
See you March 12!
Awesome! Now I wish I lived in Detroit (well, at least on March 12th). I do hope that someone will do a copyright workshop in Orlando in the near future….
Hey Marcus,
Thank you for the comment! Wish you were in Detroit, too. Though I’m sure you wouldn’t enjoy this week’s weather. We’ve had attorneys speak on contracts and other legal agreements at past Refresh Detroit meetups.
Does Orlando have a local tech group that covers web design and development topics? I know Refresh Miami is active, but didn’t know if there was anything similar in the Orlando area.
