Blog offers overview of
copyright vs. open source

I have been a journalist since 1988, yet I do not fully understand copyright law. However, I do know once people create a written work, it is protected by a copyright.

For those of you who might be writing magic books, pamphlets or ebooks, the Freelance Switch Web site has a blog entry giving an overview of copyright law as it relates to freelance writers.

It also discusses an open source form of copyright, a Creative Commons license, and why it might be a good option for freelance writers.
