Wonderful World of Copyright. Salon's Andrew Leonard has a new column about copyright policies entitled "Eyes on your copyrighted prize." Interesting tidbit: "Just before Christmas, an article published on Wired News detailed the sad story of 'Eyes on the Prize,' an award-winning documentary series about the civil rights movement in the United States. It seems that it is currently illegal to broadcast or sell new copies of the series because rights to the archival footage included in the documentary have expired. (Typically documentary filmmakers operate on very tight budgets and can buy such rights only for short periods.)"
