Rights management on the Internet (and avoiding liability for online activity) is a hot topic which sprouts new conversations every week about everything from the implications of posting content on social media platforms to copyrights in NFTs. Our panel will overview the basic principles of copyright law, apply them to online activity, and undertake an in-depth analysis of copyright issues specific to that online activity, including DMCA protections, terms of use of popular social media platforms, CDN distribution and caching, embedding and the “server test,” sharing memes and other content, creating and buying NFTs, and online-specific fair use arguments. The panel will also cover copyright considerations when using visual arts in online branding and marketing.
