# "What philatelists should know about copyright" - Charles Oppenheim,FRPSL

Join the British Empire Study Group on Thursday, May 15th at 5 pm (ET) 22:00 (UTC)
** NOTE THE TIME IS 1 Hour Earlier than our normal time **

The presentation will cover copyright basics, the lifetime of copyright, and the impact of copyright on philatelists in two regards: how they interact with copyright as CREATORS of copyright works, and how they interact with copyright as USERS of copyright works. Professor Oppenheim will also cover the issue of orphan works. His expertise in particular is in UK copyright law, but will cover other countries, such as the laws in the USA, as well. Most of the broad principles of copyright law are the same in all countries, but there are differences in detail from one country to another, so this should be borne in mind.

This is bound to be an informative and helpful talk.
This is an important topic for any academic writer, newsletter/ journal editor or club. https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/4117242773403/WN_EabtQYQjTxSRQxazjZQ8wAhttps://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/4117242773403/WN_EabtQYQjTxSRQxazjZQ8wA

ABOUT: Charles Oppenheim,FRPSL

Professor Charles Oppenheim FRPSL was, until 2009, Professor of Information Science and Head of the Department of Information Science at Loughborough University before taking early retirement. Prior to Loughborough, he held posts in other academic institutions, and for twelve years worked as a senior manager in the scholarly electronic publishing industry.

He is now an independent consultant as well as being a Visiting Professor at two UK Universities. He lives in Aberdeen. Charles, like so many philatelists, started collecting stamps around the age of 11, but stopped when he went to University. He resumed collecting after visiting the London 1980 International Stamp Exhibition, having been persuaded to attend this by a work colleague who was a Fellow of the Royal Philatelic Society London.

Charles’ primary philatelic focus is thematics. He is Membership Secretary of the British Thematic Association, is active in his local Aberdeen Philatelic Society, and is a member of the Publications Committee of the Royal Philatelic Society London.
