Course Description

How much of a book or article can you legally quote? What is ‘fair use’? And how do you get permission to use copyrighted work? At a time when content is posted, uploaded and shared globally within seconds, writers and editors need a strong understanding of up-to-date copyright law and how to work within it. In this course you will learn how to avoid breaching copyright, as well as understanding your own rights as a writer. This is a crucial course for any budding author, editor or content creator – and one that will make you a valuable asset in any publishing environment.
