APA | SD presents: Social Media and Copyright for Photographers: Dos, Don’ts, and Why | April 10th, 2013
Social Media sounds like a great set of tools for your business, but is social media really a herd of rights-grabbing Trojan horses? There is a lot more to social media than just getting re-tweets, likes, and +1s.
Join marketing-consultant-slash-copyright-lawyer Leslie Burns as she digs through the Terms of Service for some of the most popular social media tools out there to tell you what works, what is dangerous, and how best to protect yourself while still getting your work seen.
