Very nice! The point about agreeing being just as valuable as disagreeing is particularly well put, as is the one about the prohibitive cost of reshooting an audiovisual work in order to comment on it. Also I love the phrase "the horrendous defect of their virtue". And I would *love* to see a critical version of Word.
I had no idea that multiple copies for classroom use were fair use -- textbook publishers kicked up such a fuss over course packets when I was in school that I just assumed they were right.
::fangirls all over you::
Do you teach a class on these issues that I might be able to audit sometime?
Multiple copies for classroom use *can* be fair (or at least *could* be fair) but publishers never liked that, and convincing people not to copy is as good as actually having a legal rule against copying, if not better.
I don't know if I'm going to be teaching copyright again soon -- also, I'm down in DC now, so that might be a difficult commute for you!
