Academic Digital Rights: A Walk on the Creative Common - Glenn Otis Brown, Syllabus

In the face of ever longer and stronger copyright laws, Creative Commons has launched a suite of licenses—its first project of many—to help recreate a healthy public domain. In principle, copyright is a spectrum.

Each right can be exercised individually and enforced more or less than any other, depending on the author's preferences.
