A Cool Comic Book About Copyrights

aoki.jpg

Per Jamie Boyle:

"Duke Law School's Center for the Study of the Public Domain has just released "BOUND BY LAW?" - a comic book on copyright and creativity -- specifically, documentary film. It has been published under a Creative Commons License. The comic, by Keith Aoki, James Boyle and Jennifer Jenkins, explores the benefits of copyright in a digital age, but also the threats to cultural history posed by a “permissions culture,” and the erosion of “fair use” and the public domain. You can read or download the whole thing for free here!"

"Hard copies are on sale at Amazon.com. Educational orders for over 50 can be purchased directly from Duke at a subsidized price."

NB (from Ann): It's a great project - please spread the word and support it if you can.
