Documentary filmmakers are always hoping to use images and documents they find, hoping that the FAIR USE doctrine will let them use copyrighted material - without permission or payment.

Join us for a free talk with Fernando Ramirez, entertainment attorney, as he goes over what you should know about Fair Use, Copyright, and more as you work on your next film, podcast, book or webseries. Resource materials will be given to attendees. This zoom talk will not be recorded, so you should sit in!

Due to the high response to our last talk with Fernando, we are hosting this encore event.

Fernando Ramirez represents numerous independent and major label artists and music industry professionals. In the film and television industry, he has served as legal counsel on over 85 films, including projects acquired by domestic and international distributors, as well as various commercial, cable, streaming networks, and public television programs, in addition to having served as legal counsel to Oscar® and Emmy® nominated clients and awarding-winning series. https://www.entfrlaw.com/

Note: attendees will receive Dropbox links to additional information on Fair Use. This event will not be recorded.

This is a presentation of the Documentary Forum at CCNY and Third World Newsreel.
