Everything we post is instantly distributed far and wide and is cached permanently on who knows how many servers around the globe.

The purpose of this Web Audio Seminar is the discuss issues of Copyright and Fair Use in the context of Social Media, outline some of the basic dos and don’ts, and to provide context and compass to teaching faculty.
