BNO Amsterdam will host a session regarding Dutch and International Copyright law and Illustrators at their headquarters in Amsterdam the 1st of September. Anouk Siegelaar, lawyer for BNO, will focus on copyright, licensing, collective rights and so on. The seminar will handle questions as: How can you make sure your artwork is legit? What is the difference between using a piece of another illustrator’s work in your artwork and stealing? Who bears the (financial) responsibility? What are your collective rights and what are you entitled to? Vincent van den Eijnden, director of Pictoright, will be addressing the opportunities and threats of Google in the field of children’s books. Will you grant Google access to your children’s books? What is your legal control? And what does the ‘Orphan Works Act” really stand for? How can it make your Illustrating job more difficult? Entrance is free for BNO members and € 5,- for non-members. Location and more details at the BNO website (Dutch).
