Comic Relief - "Bound by Law?"

Duke Law School's Center for the Study of the Public Domain has just released "BOUND BY LAW?" - a comic book on copyright and creativity -- specifically, documentary film. It is being published today, March 15, under a Creative Commons License.  The comic, by Keith Aoki, James Boyle and Jennifer Jenkins explores the benefits of copyright in a digital age, but also the threats to cultural history posed by a “permissions culture,” and the erosion of “fair use” and the public domain.

Free digital versions are available here.  Advance praise available here. :)  And, you can buy the book here.
