Copyright, plagiarism, and all that jazz. Music Copyright and the HEPML Music Licence new CANCELLED 12:00 - 13:00 Cambridge University Library, Seminar Room, North Wing

"Copyright, Plagiarism, and all that jazz" is an introduction to real world music copyright. Music copyright can be complex and confusing, but by the end of this course, you will have a better idea of its benefits, and what copyright can do for you as a musician, as well as a clearer idea of what you can and can't do with regard to music copyright. The course deals primarily with sheet music, but also looks briefly at rights in audio and visual material, and copyright infringement's close cousin plagiarism. Looking at day to day problems, all of which have arisen at the UL, the session lasts for about an hour.

We also look at HEPML, a game changer for staff and students in what it allows you to copy and use. It provides a musical equivalent to the CLA licence; but what difference does it really make? And how do you use it? Come along to find out more.
