"Greater understanding of the digital rights environment and its differences from print publishing. I found the course very enjoyable."

You may have a good working knowledge of copyright and contracts, but can you apply it to a digital setting?


This course will make sure you can.


Whether you’re involved in acquiring or licensing, you’ll cover the ground that traditional publishing agreements don’t.


By the end of the day, you’ll have a much clearer idea of how appropriate your existing agreements are – and what to look out for when drafting or signing new ones.


You’ll need a solid grounding in copyright, publishing rights and moral rights before attending this course. Staying Within the Law can provide this.
