Wouldn't it be more appropriate to cite this article to reliable secondary sources, rather than original legal documents/university course notes? There seems to be some coverage in published books (otherwise I would have nom'd this for deletion). Sionk (talk) 09:24, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, do please feel free to add additional sources. I'll work on it more today, as well. --Lquilter (talk) 12:50, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
FYI: If by "university course notes" you mean Georgia Harper's "Copyright Crash Course" -- despite the name, that's not really a university course; rather, it's an online mini-treatise about copyright in the educational context, by one of the leading practitioners in the field. It's a highly stable and highly cited resource and is completely appropriate to cite, which is no doubt why it was included in the original article from which I pulled this text (in the American Geophysical Union article). --Lquilter (talk) 17:17, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
