Today’s the first day of "Rhetoric, Intellectual Property, and the Internet." I hadn’t realized how unaccustomed I became to talking about copyright outside of the law (and the law course environment) last semester. Today, my professor asked us about copyright duration and I immediately asked "For single authored works?" Dork. And then, later, he asked if rathergood creations should be considered parodic, and I said, "Depends on if we can consider it social commentary or not." Both of those questions would have been trick questions over in the law school, and I answered like I was still there and expecting Socratic questioning. I forgot that I’m back in the land of ought rather than is. I’m the official Over-Excited Student in the class. I’m used to being accused of being too intense, but I’m usually not quite like this.
