MIT Offering Free Copyright Course Online

Posted by Zonk on from the more-you-know dept.

IANAL writes "MIT is offering Introduction to Copyright Law as a free online course. Interested Slashdotters might find it a good way to challenge their firmly held misconceptions about copyright law as it concerns fair use, Napster, Grokster, the GPL, and P2P filesharing, among other things. There's also an article about the course over on Groklaw."

    MIT is just getting around to this? The RIAA has been offering an "Introduction to Copyright Law" to select individuals for the past few years.
