Having worked in information technology, and especially within a training role, I actually have a great deal of experience understanding copyright. We are always making sure that we do not use anything in our training materials that is not licensed for re-use. Additionally, software licensing is always foremost within our minds when dealing with information security. I'm also married to an attorney, so, frighteningly, the topic of fair use and copyright is often a topic of evening conversation. New to me is the concept of libraries and special permissions for libraries for preserving and distributing materials. I never thought about how librarians would provide alternate formats for people with disabilities, and that librarians would need to understand their permissions to do so within the copyright laws.
Towards the end of the lecture, it froze on me and I'm not sure if I was able to view the entire presentation. Does it end on the slide discussing the complexity of copywright and case law?

Hi Nina, if a video freezes, there are a few strategies. One is to wait a minute. The other is to stop and restart the video - this usually works.
