Copyright and fair use on the Internet

What is the most useful guide to copyright and fair use?  I'm looking for something that non-lawyers can use, in order to know whether they are allowed to post materials (text, pictures, video, etc.) on the Web.

Would you like to answer or comment?

Copyright and patent law is very complex. I would check with

http://www.nolo.com which has a lot of free content. Internet content is a whole different beast than hardcopy. If you need Patent attorney or a Copyright Lawyer go to either www.findlaw.com, www.lawyers.com , or www.targetlaw.com
