: Life of a Law StudentCopyright Law #2: Introduction to Copyright II
Copyright applies to a wide variety of works, even types of expression that are newly created (and not explicitly referenced in the copyright act). However, some items of “intellectual creation” are outside of copyright, such as ideas or works of the federal government. We conclude this episode by exploring how to analyze a given situation, to determine whether copyright prevents a new use.
Note: Due to temporary technical issues, this episode lacks an intro and outro (they will be provided shortly).
