Help with Copyright
Two weeks ago I mentioned a report titled “The Cost of Copyright and Media Confusion.” One of the papers principle claims is that ignorance of copyright law is damaging education. To help clear up these matters you can read the copyright crash course an excellent primer on things copyright and academe. This resource is of interest both to teachers who want to use copyrighted material and to thos producing work and wondering what their rights and options are, all explained for the non-legal types.

This is a question, not a comment. If it is not appropriate for this blog, I would appreciate a tip on where it might be appropriate. Here’s the question:
If a consultant writes a business plan for a client, for a fee, does the copyright of the original content belong to the consultant or to the client? I notice that many, if not most, business plans have no copyright statement. Should a copyright statement be standard?
Thanks. Hope somebody can help.
