Interesting take on recent issues involving copyright as the author describes the hestitancy with which people approach the use of public domain materials. The concept of the public domain is so losely defined, and the notion of copyright restrictions so entrenched in theople's minds, that they are sceptical about the possibility of using public domain materials. Some discussion of Lawrence Lessig's Creative Commons and an alluring snippet about the possibility of teachers accessing this database for cheap or free resources.
