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 has been published 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.   You
can read or download the whole thing for free at http://
www.law.duke.edu/cspd/comics/

Hard copies are on sale at Amazon   http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/
0974155314/

Educational orders for over 50 can be purchased directly from Duke at
a subsidized price.  http://www.law.duke.edu/cspd/comics/buy.html

"Bound By Law stars Akiko, a curvaceous, muscular filmmaker (think
Tomb Raider's Lara Croft with spiky hair) planning to shoot a
documentary about a day in the life of New York City...[It]
translates law into plain English and abstract ideas into 'visual
metaphors.' So the comic's heroine, Akiko, brandishes a laser gun as
she fends off a cyclopean 'Rights Monster' - all the while learning
copyright law basics, including the line between fair use and
copyright infringement." - Brandt Goldstein, The Wall Street Journal
online

“Will a spiky-haired, camera-toting super-heroine... restore decency
and common sense to the world of creative endeavor?” -Paul Bonner,
The Herald-Sun

"Bound By Law riffs expertly on classic comic styles, from the Crypt
Keeper to Mad Magazine, superheros to Understanding Comics, and lays
out a sparkling, witty, moving and informative story about how the
eroded public domain has made documentary filmmaking into a
minefield." - Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing.net
