What exclusive rights does a copyright owner enjoy and how are those rights exercised? How does a copyright owner prove infringement of a copyright? What defenses, such as fair use, may be asserted against a claim of copyright infringement? The course includes real world hypotheticals and in-role problems to help students understand the laws and policies of copyright protection in the United States. [2-3 credit hours]
