Some Copyright Resources

There are many, many places to find out about copyright and copyright law, both online and offline. This is a list of some sites I've referenced in the module, some list-servs I'm on, a list of books I find particularly useful and websites I visit frequently. The categorization is kind of weak, since I differentiate between weblogs and news weblogs.
