One of the greatest joys about working on Plagiarism Today is the wonderful people that I get to meet and work with. I love exchanging ideas and stories with the people that visit here.
However, one idea has come up repeatedly, including three times in recent months, and I’ve decided to put it before a wider audience.
The idea is basically to do a weekly column, likely on Fridays, where I (or a friend of mine if needed) answer a copyright related question submitted by a reader. I’d probably set up a unique email account just for this and would continue to accept all normal questions at my jonathan@ account.
Personally, I’m unsure about how the idea will be received so I want to hear what you think about it. Leave a comment or shoot me an email regarding it.
No matter what though, I would love more feedback on topics and columns you would like to see. There’s a lot going on in the content theft world and knowing what to focus on can be difficult.
In the meantime, I’m eager to hear what you have to say about the column. I’m curious if you think it would work and be worthwhile. Your opinions are very important to me.
I think that this is a great idea! You have an amazing perspective on the copyright landscape both existing and upcoming copyright laws as well as strong ideas on where copyright laws should be going.
You were instrumental in the formation of my startup with its copyright questions and your suggestions. Your advice was always well received and proved to be right on! In fact, I plugged you and your site on my most recent Numly podcast interview on episode 31 of the Web 2.0 Show!
Thanks,

Define Plagiarism….:)
You have everything else….
try to wrangle the spagetti line between fair-use for excerpting, parody, commentary and plagiarism.
sign my petition to reduce copyright back to 14 years, with no exceptions.

Jonathan, I really like your idea because, selfishly, I know we’ll all benefit so much from it! Other than the kinds of questions I’ve emailed you on occasion I have no other ideas about topics at the moment, but imagine that you wouldn’t lack for people writing in. Thanks!
Great idea!… whomever came up with it…
Just the other day I had a question about one of these issues and thought I’d send you an email asking what you knew. But didn’t. 1) Maybe you didn’t know. 2) Felt like asking for a favor and personal attention.
I think the rigor of writing an article on a given question would produce very good information. And taking questions from your readership could unearth a lot of interesting topics.
One vote in favor.
