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 "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.
Sign up as a PBS Teacher and you will receive a webinar invite the week of the event. PBS Teachers enjoy access to FREE services, including the PBS Teachers online community, where preK-12 educators can collaborate with their peers, discuss digital media use, and "save" online instructional resources.

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."
"Copyright Criminals" examines the creative and commercial value of musical sampling, including the ongoing debates about artistic expression, copyright law and (of course) money.
