Session Summary

Who owns a photo or text? Can you use it for work, for private or not at all? If you are depicted in a photo, is it then automatically yours? And can you share it on social media? Or can you get fined or even end up in a lawsuit?

These questions have never been more relevant. Every single day, we use and share other people’s videos and pictures on social media, we copy text from news websites to send to friends or colleagues. But can we get in trouble for using other people’s intellectual property?

Merel gives an interactive and educational session about copyright with the question: ‘Is copyright still viable in the future?’ as guidance.

Detailed session description

In today's digital age, the questions surrounding ownership and use of photos, texts, and other intellectual property have become increasingly significant. Can you use a photo or text for work, private purposes, or not at all?

If you are depicted in a photo, does that mean you own it automatically? And can you freely share it on social media, or could this lead to fines or lawsuits? These questions have never been more relevant as we routinely use and share others' videos, pictures, and texts online.

In this interactive and educational session, Merel will delve into the intricacies of copyright law. She will address whether using other people's intellectual property can land you in legal trouble, and explain the nuances of what constitutes fair use versus infringement.

The session will explore common scenarios, such as copying text from news websites to send to friends or colleagues, and sharing images and videos on social media platforms.

Merel will guide attendees through the legal landscape of copyright, helping them understand their rights and responsibilities. She will pose the thought-provoking question: "Is copyright still viable in the future?" By examining current practices and legal standards, participants will gain a clearer understanding of how to navigate the complex world of intellectual property in both their personal and professional lives.

Before you book

Questions about Copyright

Is this session interactive, or do people just watch?

It is interactive, and the block above says exactly how for this session. Nobody has to speak up who does not want to: the chat and the polls carry most of it, and the questions can come in anonymously.

Is this for beginners or for people who already know the subject?

Who owns a photo or text? Can you use it for work, for private or not at all? It is built for a general working audience: no prior knowledge is assumed, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction.

How long does it take, and what do we have to prepare?

It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Merel, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.

Who can join, and where does it run?

A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.

Can our global colleagues follow it?

The session is delivered in English, Dutch. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.

Will our IT department have a problem with this?

No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.

How does this work under GDPR?

We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.

What do we get afterwards?

You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
