Jura-guide til podcastere:

Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society, Stanford Center for Internet & Society, Vogele & Associates og Creative Commons, har udgivet en guide der forklarer de aspekter af ophavsretten (i USA) der er relevante for podcastere, i modsætning til bloggere (her hedder bibelen Legal Guide for Bloggers, udgivet af Electronic Frontier Foundation). Det er samtidig en indføring i Creative Commons rettighedssystemet. Fra Lawrence Lessigs forord:

This Guide is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to figure out how best to follow the law. It is also an outstanding recommendation for the non-profit I run, Creative Commons, for as you will see as you work through the insanity that copyright law has become, Creative Commons is a simple alternative to this complex mess.

But my hope for this Guide (which in addition to copyright addresses publicity rights and trademark law) is that it will begin to make obvious what digital creators have been saying for some time - that it is time we update copyright law to the digital age. Something fantastic has changed: technology now invites the widest range of citizens to become speakers and creators. It is time that the law remove the unnecessary burdens that it imposes on this creativity.

"Copyright law" is essential in a digital age. But it ought to be a copyright law made for a digital age. Ours is not. And this fantastic Guide for those wanting to obey the rules should be evidence enough to convince anyone of that fact.
