From: Sandy Thatcher <[log in to unmask]> Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2012 19:46:46 -0500 I hope when using this people will try to help the uninitiated understand that there is no such thing as a single copyright but rather that copyright consists of a bundle of rights, each of which can be transferred individually. I fear that the simplification involved in setting up this chart may contribute to some miseducation as well.
