It's often said that if you want to get away with killing an American, first give them a bicycle. Drivers just say "they came out of nowhere" or "the sun was in my eyes" and that's that.

This is about sound recordings rather than books, but one of the more insane features of US copyright law is that the copyright status of sound recordings made before 1972 is governed by state rather than federal law, and many states are thought to have no applicable statute.

One "nice" thing about NF is that it has only two axioms/axiom schemes: 1) sets with the same members are the same, and 2) any stratifiable property corresponds to a set off all the things which have that property. And the definition of "stratifiable" isn't very complicated.

ZF, by contrast, has eight rather ad hoc axioms/axiom schemes.
