Summary: Copyright For The Rest Of Us is a textbook designed to introduce college or high school students to copyright law without going into too much detail - or being too simplistic. Its nine chapters (or modules in Connexions) cover what the law says and how that law is commonly applied to music, movies, artworks, digitization, and other situations. Each module (chapter) can be used alone or with the rest of the text.
