I ran into an old colleague at NTC , and it came up, because he had been thinking of contributing to the journal, but decided that he probably won’t, for reasons I will talk about. It’s peer reviewed (good), but it’s got a rather restrictive license, and the content is not freely available.
Brian Rowe has put together a great panel at the 2009 NTC , " Fair Use, User Generated Content, Terms of Service and the DMCA Safe Harbor Act " I'll be the first to admit that intellectual property law sounds like it could replace the Tylenol PM in my travel bag.
