The Latest Legal Issues for Editors & Writers

Oct 13, 2010 8:30 - 10:00

Intellectual property lawyer Mark Anfinson joins us to discuss copyright issues, writers' and photographers' web rights and other legal issues affecting editors of both trade and consumer magazines.

Attorney Mark Anfinson is coming back to the Editors' Roundtable to bring us up to date on the legal issues that affect our work as editors and writers. Do you understand how libel laws apply on the comments section of your website? Are you protecting your intellectual property online -- and not unintentionally trespassing on others'? Do your freelance contracts cover the rights you need and protect your publication? What's up with the new FTC rules for bloggers, and do they have anything to do with our own blogs and newsletters? Mark will answer these questions but, more importantly, he'll be ready to answer YOUR questions. Come prepared for a dynamic, audience-driven discussion.

Want even more networking time? Join Tricia Cornell for breakfast at The Egg & I on University at 7:30. RSVP to triciacornell@gmail.com so we can get a table of more or less the right size.
