Copyright: Digital Sliderule Makes Copyright Law Dead Simple

Link: Copyright: Digital Sliderule Makes Copyright Law Dead Simple. Thanks to the American Library Association and LifeHacker for this tool. It is like the checklists and paradigms that many lawyers use as a starting point for legal research. In Florida, one of my favorites is a Judgment Paradigm that computes whether a particular judgment constitutes a lien on real property. This Internet tool is a great way to begin research about copyright issues, and contains good basic copyright knowledge. Of course, most copyright issues turn on interpretation of things like "fair use" and their application to specific facts, but this handy guide will at least let you know what you are talking about.
