Copyright Issues for Nonprofits

October 31, 2022 Podcast
EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. This episode covers the basics of copyright law that most nonprofits need to know about. We answer the questions: Who owns what? How does the owner protect their rights? Does the owner even want to? When can you use someone else's work?

My guest today is my colleague and friend Nate Garhart, an expert in intellectual property law at Farella Braun + Martel. Listen in!
