Discourse Chronicle

Page after page, the comic goes through examples of producers who’ve found themselves in difficult circumstances because they allowed themselves to get pushed around by big-media lawyers – even when their use of someone else’s content is justifiably fair use. It’s intended to give producers confidence when it comes to using someone’s content in a fair use context, explaining when the law is on their side and when it isn’t.

[Copyright and Fair Use seems like an always complicated matter, especially for scholars who work with popular culture materials, so these topics come up consistently. I know the Comics Scholars’ Discussion List spent weeks on these issues over Christmas Break recently. BK]
