When Rights Go Wrong: Intellectual Property Law for the Social Media -- This month we've got a very interesting speaker, Jeff Young, who practices entertainment and media law. Jeff will be touching on the topics of trademarks, rights of privacy, and cybersquatting.

Jeff received his Bachelor of Law degree from UBC, where he also studied Commerce, before beginning his 18 year legal career which started in corporate and real estate law and ultimately focused on intellectual property and entertainment, particularly in film/TV and music. Jeff currently teaches Film Law and New Media Law in the School of Business / New Media Dept. at BCIT. Jeff is also a music composer, producer and supervisor with credits on numerous recordings including projects delivered to Warner, Universal, CBC, CTV, NBC, Global and the Knowledge Network.

We look forward to seeing you! (and we're pretty sure we won't get snowed-out this time!)
