Talk:Module 1: Copyright and the Public Domain

+ Under "What is Copyright" - how far do we want to go with promoting a particular view? I toned down the language -- "According to them, copyright law should focus on inspiring creativity, not enriching authors. Many important copyright laws imply this viewpoint" -- since this seems to be more advocacy than teaching. But the ultimate balance is for someone else to strike.

+ Need to include definitions of sound recordings and commissioned works in the glossary.

+ In the section "What does copyright law cover" - I changed the example because it might be misleading to tell people that they can rewrite newspaper articles. While I think it's ridiculous, the Supreme Court has not yet driven a stake through the heart of the "hot news" doctrine.

+ Changed the definition of economic rights, since the old one seemed to imply that noncommercial uses weren't covered.
