Copyright as graphic novel

The latest Digital Copyright Digest mentions Aoki, Boyle and Jenkins' "Bound by Law?", a detailed discussion of copyright, told as graphic novel. The book is a project of Duke's Center for the Study of the Public Domain.

While I doubt we'll see a movie version anytime soon, it does a fair job of detailing the complexities (and absurdities) of American copyright law. It's also unusual enough that undergrads may actually do the assigned reading (also available as a FREE pdf download).
