Fine Print

This guide, and the links contained herein, are in no way meant to provide legal advice.  Copyright laws are complicated and there is often no clear right or wrong.  This guide is only meant to lead you toward resources that can help you unravel the mess copyright so often seems to be. 

If you need any additional help finding copyright resources, ask a reference librarian, but for actual legal advice, please ask a lawyer!
