video about the CIP

"My experiences with the CIP workshops have been very good. The workshops are very interesting and provide a rich resource for under-standing the intricacies of copyright issues. This is my third year of taking CIP workshops and I am sure I will take more in the future. I am especially impressed with the quality of the workshop leaders. I promote the CIP workshops to colleagues every chance I get."
