Announcing a new list on copyright:
ABOUT THE FORUM:
Copyright issues pervade our lives affecting everything from
the labels on the cans of soft drinks to the things we watch on
television to all the things we read. It has a tremendous effect
on networking activities as evidenced by the number of lists which
discuss copyright issues from time to time. But it is often
misunderstood, subject to easy misinterpretation and at times very
complicated. Many people simply throw out copyright questions to
any list hoping to get an answer that makes some sense. Others who
have an interest in copyright per se find themselves trying to
monitor dozens of lists in order to get into a regular flow of
copyright discussions. This list is being organized to give those
who ask, answer, and discuss copyright questions of any type a
forum for discussion. Discussion will not be limited to any one
area such as copyright for electronic materials. To see a list of
suggested issues to be addressed on this forum, send the following
