A quick explanation of copyright law

Posted Thursday, 19 July 2007, 10:23 HST @766

Erik J. Heels posted a diagram that he used to explain copyright to a child. I found the article on a Boing Boing post.

I drew up a cleaner version in Visio, and have posted it below. As Erick states, it’s just a start, and not a comprehensive explanation of how copyrighted works may be used.
