SUMMARY:Tales from the Cribbed: Copyright Infringement
DESCRIPTION:With the recent popularity of AI image generators and large language models that are trained with authors’ works from the Internet\, copyright law has been the subject of recent controversy. But what is a copyright\, and how does it protect creators? In this workshop\, Matt Fagan of Goodwin Procter will provide an introduction to copyright\, including when copyrights are infringed and when copying is legal. We’ll address the right to copy and create derivative works\, when copying goes too far\, and how to protect your software\, music\, images\, and literary works. We’ll also consider how far you can go in using other people’s works. \nThis workshop will take place on February 14\, and we all know what that means: horror! This workshop will illustrate copyright law through numerous examples drawn from classic horror movies and TV shows. We’ll examine derivative works with Tales from the Crypt and Creepshow\, look at legitimate use of someone else’s work in the classic Hammer Horror movies\, consider authors’ rights in Friday the 13th\, and review one terrifying parody of Mary Poppins.

SUMMARY:Marketing Strategy for Startups
DESCRIPTION:Marketing Strategy for Startups \nMarketing would be easy if we could all just buy a few billboards and a super bowl ad\, and watch the money roll in. Unfortunately\, that’s not how things work in startup-land\, where early stage companies are trying to hit ambitious growth targets with very limited resources. \nIn this session\, Franklin will discuss how founders and early teams should think about allocating their marketing dollars and effort for the biggest possible impact. How much time should you put into Instagram and Tik-Tok? What about ads\, events and outbound marketing? How does your competitive landscape and market dynamics figure into all of this? \nFranklin will give you a framework for how to think about where your startup should place its marketing “bets” to help you acquire new customers at the right cost. \nFranklin Morris is Vice President and Head of Global Marketing at Alloy.ai.
