Sarah Fink (Of Counsel-Long Island, NY) and John Cahill (Associate-White Plains, NY) will present the Wilson Elser Forum webinar “Copyright Infringement Exposure When Posting Content Online” on March 3, 2026. This session examines copyright infringement risks associated with posting content online, particularly on social media, in influencer marketing, and in brand campaigns that use unlicensed third-party material. The discussion reviews recent cases addressing strict and secondary liability, defenses under the DMCA and related doctrines, and emerging disputes involving memes and AI-generated content. The session also highlights how brands and publishers are managing these risks through contracting practices, content vetting, takedown rights, and tailored risk management measures.
