The UK's copyright laws protect writers by handing them exclusive rights in relation their original creative work. But how can writers best protect themselves and what does a writer need to do before using the work of others? In the event of an apparent infringement, how can a creator ensure they have a clear and unambiguous claim and what steps can they take? What efforts are being made more widely to combat pirates engaged in widespread infringements and what action against AI companies allegedly training their systems on copyright-protected works without consent? Join SoA Advisory clinic hosts Johanna Clarke and Theo Jones as they guide you through the issues, and bring you exclusive contributions from Jack Newton, Head of Enforcement at the Publishers' Association and Umair Kazi, Director of Public Policy Affairs at the Authors' Guild in the US.
