Copyright Bites

Copyright Bites is a series of short videos that makes copyright law and policy easier to understand. With a distinctive visual vocabulary and style, the series explores the relationship between copyright and the public domain both of which are essential in fostering creativity and the creation of new work. It concerns how creators exploit and protect their work, as well as when it is okay to copy and re-use the work of others without having to ask for permission and without having to clear rights. Copyright is extremely important; but so too is the public domain.
