Keep Your Copyrights

Keep Your Copyrights is a resource for authors, musicians, and other creators of works. It intends to make clear why creators might want to keep their copyrights, and how to accomplish this.

 

Project Posner

The purpose of Project Posner is to make freely and easily available to the public Richard Posner’s largest and greatest body of work—his judicial opinions.

For lawyers and those interested in law, Posner’s opinions have a particular substantive value. One thing that distinguishes the opinions is the effort to try and get at why a given law actually exists, and an effort to try and make sense of the law. That can make them more useful than most case reports.

Finally, some of the opinions are funny.
