Infinite Copyright Crisis
A creative team under Duke's Center for the Study of the Public Domain has released a comic book chronicling all that dense copyright jargon you never read in the back of the AP Stylebook from the perspective of a filmmaker and all the hurdles and exceptions one runs into trying to publish about anything these days. The book is viewable for gratis in its entirety online. You can also purchase hard copies should you so desire.
It's a fantastically entertaining and informative read, too, bringing up historical examples involving everyone from Andy Warhol and Monty Python to Outfoxed and Michael Moore. If you've ever scratched your head about what "fair use" is all about, you're likely to find your answers here.
