This week our class is going to the movies. Copyright can be a bit dry, but RIP: A Reminx Manifesto is not dry!

This ten minute movie, directed by Eric Faden, came out of Stanford University's Fair Use Project Documentary Film Program. Stanford's Fair Use Project--to which Stanford Law professor, Copyright guru, Creative Commons advocate and Wired writer Lawrence Lessig contributes--was founded to "support to a range of projects designed to clarify, and extend, the boundaries of fair use in order to enhance creative freedom." And, well, the movie is very creative, and certainly seems to take the boundaries of fair use about as far as they can go.

educational wiki

Is there a Wiki just for adult education? I'll take a look myself, but would be interested in finding out if others know of some too. I posted my definition assignment on MojoMojo.

Is there any research out there on how accurate this filter is?

Nice summary of different approaches to licensing.
