In my thinking about internships, etc for next summer, I realized the best thing for me to do might be to do an independent project either hosted at opensourceplayground.org or perhaps law.musicmanumit.com (which doesn't exist and I'd need to discuss with Tom).

As musicians and music lovers (or technologists), what sort of legal resources would you like to see that don't currently exist? 

There's Groklaw, EFF, Creative Commons and http://softwarefreedom.org/resources/. Would videos be useful? Audio? Text? 

Alnisa, specifically what sort of resources might be good for non-profits? I'd want to keep it in the software or music space generally, but particularly on opensourceplayground.org I have some wiggle room.

This would be something that is mostly US-based law, but luckily the UK is also common law, so for those of you over there, there might be something I can do. Continental Europe folks...well, there might be some stuff I could do with international law, but mostly I think you're out of luck. I would certainly be willing to work with someone in Europe though if someone was interested in contributing to the project. Those details can be discussed later.
