The internet made copying effortless, not innocent. This class examines what it means to use photos, music, books, and content that someone else created, especially when it’s publicly accessible. We explore boundaries, intent of the creator, user agreements, and how halacha understands ownership beyond physical objects. A major case study, Slavita versus Vilna, shows how serious this question became in the world of Torah publishing. You'll grapple with whether access equals permission, and what you actually owe when you benefit from someone else's work.
