Can I use a photo found in Google on my blog? Can I take code from GitHub for my commercial WordPress plugin? Can I stop jerks from copying my writing? Will Janet Jackson sue me if she doesn’t like my meme? When it comes to intellectual property on the Internet, misunderstanding and fear abound. I will dispel some common myths, explain the law, and give real-world examples of how it all affects artists, writers, and coders. With a little knowledge, you can engage confidentially in the free exchange of ideas online, whether you’re starting a business or blogging about your cats. (Not sure if this fits better in the User or Business track, so I said other.)
