This Month's Workshop

Wednesday, May 17, 2023 @ 1 p.m. ET

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). It’s an old law given how fast technology moves, but it is still effective for protecting your creative work. 

As a writer, artist, or creative entrepreneur, you are engaged in a constant struggle to protect your work from online theft. The DMCA was designed to help you do just that in the face of all the social media platforms and websites built on user-generated content.

Remember, if it is worth creating, it is worth protecting. Learn how to use the DMCA to protect your creative work in this workshop.
