Watch Promo
If you are an author, an artist or a student interested in learning copyright laws of the USA, you are on the right page. The course covers essentials of copyright laws, from basics to defenses against copyright infringement claims.
The liability for the breach of copyright laws is usually strict. This means it does not matter if the copyright infringer was aware of the fact that the work was, in fact, copyrighted. The course will inform you about the pitfalls that you need to watch out when embarking on the journey of creating work that may include copying someone else's work.
This course will also guide you as to what steps you need to take in order to make sure that you are not entering the grey areas of possible copyright infringements, leaving yourself prone to civil litigation or criminal penalties.
Please note that the guidelines in this course are for information purposes only. It is general in nature and is presented with the understanding that I am not carrying out any professional legal or non-legal services to the learners of this course or work. If you are facing any specific or individual challenges or issues, you are strongly advised to seek professional help from a professionally qualified person according to your specific and individual needs and requirements.

About Me
Hello, welcome to my page and thank you for showing interest in my courses. I am Tufail. I have a strong passion for teaching law and have experience of tutoring law students for over 5 years. In addition to my LL.B. (Hons) and LL.M. in Corporate & Business Law, which included intellectual property laws, company laws, arbitration and corporate crime, I also hold 'Certificate in Delivering Learning'. The course provided me with added insights to develop and design courses for the learners.
I am a 'Principal Legal Researcher' at LEX-Ed Online. I carry out research on international laws with a specific interest in the study and comparison of the laws of the United States of America (USA), United Kingdom (UK), the European Union (EU) and those of the countries with the Common Law background. Any courses, projects, and classes that are shared at this platform go through the process of thorough legal research and an in-house assessment of the usefulness and helpfulness of the law courses for the students and other users.
I have also got experience of working in corporate and commercial areas of law. I am a winner of the prestigious 2009 Annual Students' Advocacy (Or Mooting) Competition and has represented my alma mater in inter-institutional competitions. I am the author of several books for law students and have written legal articles in the UK based papers for the information and guidance of the general public. I am also a newspaper columnist and have a strong interest in the international justice systems.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with you on this platform.
