I just got notice form NTC that I get to run a panel again this year at NTC. Here is are basics:
Dear Brian C Rowe -

Fair Use, User Generated Content, Terms of Service and the DMCA Safe Harbor
A panel discussion with professionals from NPOs and the legal profession to help answer your questions and provide access to best practices around User Generated Content. This session will include 3 short presentations and lots of time for Q&A. Samples best practices and hands on resources will also be provided.
Takeaways:
1. HOW TO: use Fair Use for your campaigns and members
2. Best Practices for Terms of Service related to UGC

This will be fun. Last year Sarah and I ran a panel to a packed room on CC and Fair Use, which had great question. This year I am reaching out to EFF and ACLU NorCal to find a few strong legal speakers to join the panel.
