Doesn’t have to be through an oral examination but I am convinced that everyone in academia could stand to be asked “What do you mean by that word? What does that phrase mean?” way more often.

"Some professors have for many years been giving oral examinations in the old Oxford and Cambridge tutorial style, where students read their papers aloud, and the professor interrupts to ask questions like 'What do you mean by that word? What does that phrase mean?'"

If you so much as quote T. S. Eliot's Four Quartets in a piece of writing, you still have to pay. It is basically a denial of Eliot's cultural impact to insist that this work belongs to an estate and not to human culture. Anyway, happy Public Domain Day!

That would leave someone like Agatha Christie, who published her first book at 30 and lived to 85, only 5 years without the rights to that book. Keep in mind that her last book, under current law, will not enter the public domain until 2072, 96 years after her death. [14/15]

When you know what's in the public domain, it attunes you how it shapes what we see at the book store. It's more than just volunteer efforts like Project Gutenberg and Standard Ebooks, where you can download entire books for free. It's business. [1/15]
