Description

Creators, beware: just because it’s online doesn’t mean it’s fair game. In this episode of The Briefing, Scott Hervey and Richard Buckley break down one of the most misunderstood areas of copyright law—fair use.



In this episode, they cover:



  • What makes a use “transformative”?

  • Why credit alone doesn’t protect you

  • How recent court rulings (Warhol v. Goldsmith) are changing the game

  • Tips to stay on the right side of the law
