On a similar topic: Some cool stuff is going to be coming out of the University of Michigan OER project (OPEN:Michigan). It is going to be a case book of different Content Objects and how to do a Copyright Analysis of them (OPEN:Michigan terms Upper Cased). Basically, if you see something like this, do that. The draft (DRAFT!) can be found here: https://open.umich.edu/wiki/index.php5/Casebook The cool thing is going to be Susan Crawford's[0] IP class adding to/rewriting that Case Book to include more examples and legal cases to back up the decisions. Thought some of you might be interested. Best, greg [0] Yes, _that_ Susan Crawford. The person who Obama appointed to be co-lead of the FCC Review Team. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
