Copyright

Who knew there were so many rules?? I always thought that anything on the internet was public domain. Now I know that even postings of any kind are protected just the same as published printed works. Soon copyright owners selling digital rights for reasonable prices will argue before courts inclined to view "making copies" as unjustified under fair use that activities we all consider normal, are actually infringements. How will we respond? If this peek into the future is even close to accurate, we need to get busy right now negotiating with copyright owners for the rights we want for as cheap as we can get .
