Much of the open education community runs on Creative Commons licenses, and those licenses themselves are based on copyright law. This episode is a basic primer about copyrights. I cover seven questions:
- What’s a copyright?
- Do you need to file papers to gain a copyright?
- How are copyrights different than patents?
- How are copyrights different than trademarks?
- What can you copyright?
- How does something copyrighted get in the public domain?
- What exemptions are there to copyright law?
