Surprisingly, one of the best compendiums (albeit directed to laypersons) of copyright resources on the web is
Negativland, the NorCal performance art band that got into trouble making a
recording of U2 and Casey Kasem going apeshit during a long distance dedication {.mp3} some years back. After the legal battle died down, they took it upon themselves to write manifestos about the role of copyright in derivative works in the digital age.
Again, the links from the Negativland site are designed to explain the inexplicable to the layperson, but are definitely more accessible for problem-solving than reaching for
Nimmer.
