Much of the open education community runs on Creative Commons licenses, and those licenses themselves are based on copyright law.  This episode is a basic primer about copyrights.  I cover seven questions:

* What’s a copyright?

* Do you need to file papers to gain a copyright?

* How are copyrights different than patents?

* How are copyrights different than trademarks?

* What can you copyright?

* How does something copyrighted get in the public domain?

* What exemptions are there to copyright law?
