SUMMARY:Fun and Legal: Making Art through Fair Use
DESCRIPTION:Join the MIT Libraries for Fair Use Week at this hands-on 
 workshop to learn about your legal rights to reuse\, parody\, and build on 
 pre-existing copyrighted materials.  Learn about appropriation artists who 
 have been sued\, and how to NOT be sued for your own projects.  
 Participants will learn to make a book-binding structure to create their 
 own art book or zine using found materials\, and will come away with a work 
 which IS a fair use\, and an understanding of HOW to utilize their fair use 
 rights in their creative projects.  \n\nFair use is the part of copyright 
 law which lets you - without asking permission or paying a fee - use 
 pre-existing materials for your own creative ends.  Fair use is essential 
 for free speech\, and you rely on it every day\, but it is often 
 misunderstood.  Come to this workshop to learn how to assess fair use and 
 know your rights!\n\nRegistration is limited.  We will provide materials\, 
 but please feel free to also bring materials you would like to turn into 
 art!\n\nNote: Participants should meet at the Maihaugen Gallery (14N-130) 
 to be escorted to the Wunsch Conservation Lab (14-0513).
