March 10, 2010: Copyright and Fair Use in the Art World and the Classroom -
8pm ET


During this webinar, you will have the chance to hear from and interact with
filmmaker Kembrew McLeod, whose film
<http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/copyright-criminals/> "Copyright
Criminals" recently aired on PBS's Independent Lens, law professor Peter
Jaszi, and media producers and educators Chris Runde and Joe Fatheree. The
four will discuss the implications of copyright and Fair Use laws in the
classroom and share best practices in student media production. We will also
be joined by Annelise Wunderlich, National Community Engagement and
Education Manager for ITVS, who will present film modules and lesson plans
based on the film and developed by ITVS Community Classroom.

About the Film: Computers, software and even cell phones have radically
altered our relationship to mass culture and technology, providing consumers
with the tools to become producers, or "remixers," of their own media. But
long before everyday people began posting their video mash-ups on the Web,
hiphop musicians perfected the art of audio montage through a sport they
called "sampling."
<http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/copyright-criminals/> "Copyright
Criminals," a documentary by Benjamin Franzen and Kembrew McLeod, examines
the creative and commercial value of musical sampling, including the ongoing
debates about artistic expression, copyright law and (of course) money.
