About this webinar
Knowing what we can freely use, without permission, in our family histories ensures that we are not infringing on the rights of others. For example, did you know that if you watch your grandmother make her secret pasta sauce, writing down the ingredients and methods she used, you have created your own 'literary work' which is now protected by copyright? (Just don't tell Granny!) How then does copyright law apply to published and unpublished works? What is fair use and moral rights? Can a distant cousin use information in her family book that I have researched? This presentation will examine those aspects of Australia’s copyright law which apply to family historians and discusses ways we can comply with the law.

What a brilliant presentation .... so comprehensive, and so clearly explained. Thank you so much Cathie.
Great webinar, Cathie. Australian Copyright information has never been so straight forward.
Excellent information as usual from Cathie. So much I was not aware of regarding the copyright and just what we can and cannot do. Great slides very easy to understand and where to go to check out this information.
Really very, very good speaker and webinar. Copyright is still confusing much of the time, but it is a topic that should be addressed more often. Especially so, since each country has their own rules, and it can be hard to understand if you are breaking copyright law.
Cathie Sherwood's credentials are amazing. The topic was well researched and presented in an easy way to understand. Her syllabus is fantastic and a great reference to fall back on - I will be looking at more of her presentations to add to my research knowledge. Thank you so much for this Webinar.
Very informative webinar. I now feel more enabled regarding copyright issues. The webinar was very clearly presented and I am pleased that I have a Webinar membership so that I can watch it again at any time if I need to clarify any points.
Cathie's webinars are always highly informative and well-presented. Highly recommended!
Very informative and easy to understand and follow. Important information for family researchers to be aware of in Australia.
