Re: Copyright over the Internet

The following is the beginning of the "Frequently Asked Questions" list (FAQ) for copyright, which gives instructions for retrieving the FAQ -- this in turn should have pointers to other net resources...

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT COPYRIGHT (V. 1.1.1) Part 1 - Introduction.

Copyright 1993 Terry Carroll
(c) 1993 Terry Carroll

This article is the first in a series of six articles that contains frequently asked questions (FAQ) with answers relating to copyright law, particularly that of the United States. It is posted to the Usenet misc.legal, misc.legal.computing, and misc.int-property newsgroups monthly, on or near the 17th of each month. The FAQ maintainer is currently investigating the requirements for posting the FAQ in the news.answers and related newsgroups.

This FAQ is available for anonymous FTP from rtfm.mit.edu [18.70.0.226], in directory /pub/usenet/news.answers/CopyrightFAQ,  files part1 - part6. If you do not have direct access by FTP, you can obtain a copy via email: send a message to mailserver @rtfm.mit.edu with the following lines in it:

  send usenet/news.answers/Copyright-FAQ/part1
  send usenet/news.answers/Copyright-FAQ/part2
  send usenet/news.answers/Copyright-FAQ/part3
  send usenet/news.answers/Copyright-FAQ/part4
  send usenet/news.answers/Copyright-FAQ/part5
  send usenet/news.answers/Copyright-FAQ/part6

The most current copy of the FAQ, generally identical to the version on rtfm.mit.edu, is always available for anonymous ftp from charon.amdahl.com [129.212.33.1], in the directory /pub/misc.legal/Copyright-FAQ, filenames part.1 - part.6.
