Presenting Mathematical Concepts on the World Wide Web
Intellectual Property Rights ... and Wrongs

1. None are intended to involve trick questions of international law.

The different countries were used to justify why someone would definitely make a copy rather than just use the original.

2. None are intended to involve trick questions of fair use.

Educational settings were used because they are most familiar to the target audience. Since many educators already tend to over-apply the fair use argument, on the other hand, there's little need to emphasize that here.

3. None are specific enough that there is one certain answer.

I wanted you to learn to identify issues and to know when you may need to do additional research or to seek legal counsel to clarify and resolve those issues.
