Copyright Tutorial

I got sick of the misinformation about copyright being slung about DA by people who never bothered to actually look up the correct information. So here's a tutorial about U.S. copyright law.

I am not a lawyer, nor is this legal advice. Nor is it guaranteed to be absolutely correct - the areas of copyright which govern fair use are extremely fuzzy and many people have different opinions. It's also a work in progress, and as such is subject to change at any moment. If you plan to use it as ammunition in any forum wars, you might want to come back and double-check what it says first.
