Never Read Your Slides

Under no circumstances should you ever read your slides word for word from the presentation screen. Your audience will figure out that you are reading the slides. They can read faster than you can talk. This will create a disconnect between you

Never Read Your Slides

and your audience.

Fair Use

Fair Use

a defense, not a right

If “Fair Use” is called into question, they will look at 4 things

If “Fair Use” is called into question, they will look at 4 things

the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of

a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes

the nature of the copyrighted work

the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole

the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the

copyrighted work

Used to have to file for copyright

(extra work on the part of the owner)

Today, all you have to do is “fix” your work

(write it down, record it, save it to a hard drive, CD, DVD or other media)
