Actors in the arts industry often subject licensing to only copyright whereas there are other forms of licensing that allows certain permissions in advance to the user to ensure easy sharing of the artists work while still retaining some rights of the work. The session will seek to educate and clear such misconceptions in the minds of the audience while introducing participants to these alternative licensing.

The focus will be to train users about these licenses, how to adopt them in their work and to ensure easy accessibility to their work without limiting its users. The content of the session will be extended to cover all forms of intellectual property and so could benefit users even out of the arts industry (software developers, media personnel, etc.)
