Get your copyright game on!
Henk, M.
Are you confused about copyright? Wondering what the rules are around sharing, reusing and remixing creative works? Want to understand more about it all while having some fun?
Join us for this session to learn about the ins and outs of copyright through the NZ-designed and developed card game Creative Commons Release ‘Em Poker, taught by copyright expert Mandy Henk from open access advocacy group, Tohatoha.
The game is loosely based around the well-known Texas Hold’Em style of poker. Through it, you’ll get to know the rules of copyright legislation and Creative Commons licensing as you apply your knowledge to real-world copyright scenarios, challenges and conundrums, all while having some friendly competition!
Copyright can be a complex concept to comprehend, but it doesn’t have to be. Come along ready for some fun and get your copyright game on!
