Students explore copyright and intellectual property standards as they relate to music, music technology, and digital citizenship. Students will identify and apply their knowledge of copyright law and licensure to select appropriate licenses for an original work. Students then analyze copyrighted material and understand how to obtain appropriate permission to use the material.

Understanding intellectual property and copyright is crucial to theatre practitioners, be they actors, technicians, directors, or managers. Students will research terms and identify cases of copyright infringement in the theatre arts.
