I have decided to write my term paper for my Law & Society class on fan fiction. I am still a little unfocused on what I am going to focus on, but something to do with copyright laws and how blogs add an extra coplication. It has to be a pro and con paper. If anyone has any articles on the subject they could point me toward, I would be ever so grateful. My profile address is good.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
sj, Rebecca Tushnet's "Legal Fictions" is the paper on the subject. You can find it here: [link] along with her other writing on the subject. It's pre-blogging, but very worth a read.

Also, EFF has a lot of good blogging info -- I don't think they address fanfiction, but they're a great resource for online speech issues in general. [link]

Thanks for the links. I love the buffistas. You guys rock.
ETA: If anyone knows of any meatspace articles on the subject, I need to have at least a couple of those.
