COPYRIGHT OFFICE LAUNCHES WEBSITE FOR KIDS

The Copyright Office has launched an interactive website aimed at
middle-school children. The goal of "Taking the Mystery Out of
Copyright" is to explain U.S. copyright law. The colorful and
animated website includes a set of learning activities and employs a
character named Detective Cop E. Wright, together with other original
characters, to help bring a greater understanding of how U.S.
copyright law operates. To view the new website, go to
http://www.copyright.gov and select "Taking the Mystery Out of
Copyright."
