Luncheon Series: Wendy Seltzer, "Sacked by Copyright"

When Berkman Fellow and Chilling Effects founder Wendy Seltzer posted a Super Bowl clip to YouTube, she thought she'd get to teach a bit about copyright -- the clip was the NFL's warning that "Any other use of this telecast or of any pictures, descriptions, or accounts of the game without the NFL's consent, is prohibited."  In series of DMCA notices, copyright takedowns, counter-notifications, and put-backs, Seltzer has found the process more convoluted than even she anticipated.  Join us this Tuesday, April 17 at 12:30pm at the Berkman Center for a discussion of the free expression stakes in Viacom v. YouTube: copyright, safe-harbors, and Chilling Effects.

Wendy is a visiting assistant professor at Brooklyn Law School, where she teaches Internet Law and Privacy. She was previously a staff attorney with Electronic Frontier Foundation, focused on intellectual property and free speech issues. She is a 1999 graduate of Harvard Law School and a 1996 graduate of Harvard College.
