To my surprise and delight, the good folks at Duke Law have produced this comic book to explain the law of fair use and how expanding copyrights is producing lots of “collateral damage” in the free speech department. Back when I was in law school I had an idea for an entire series of comic books dramatizing the law school curriculum. Happily for the world, I can’t even draw stick figures as well as Jim Snider did in his Cartoon Guide to Federal Spectrum Policy.
Stay tuned . . .

So much work to be done! The RightsMonster is an all-devouring beast. It denies us our own history, thereby condemming us to all kinds of bad stuff. I’m thinking of the Eyes on the Prize debacle, a rights obscenity if ever there was one.
