thought work

[This was a reply to a comment on my Idealab Educate post, but it's more of it's own incipient essay.]

I agree that understanding and properly using copyright and fair use is important, and I keep the Center for Social Media's resources in my toolkit. Moreover, I greatly value the work done to make the facts of what is permissible well-known. Clarity of the law is essential to prevent obscurity and uncertainty from being used as a bludgeon by people with lawyers on tap.

We need more though!
