Re: [Air-l] key terms/concepts for understanding the web

      My belated nomination:

"copyright"

I've weighed the options, and I think this is ultimately preferable to 
the umbrella term "intellectual property." The bulk of the I.P. issues 
in electronic composing spaces are copyright issues, and, at lwast in a 
U.S. context, copyright hovers over, in, and around almost every act of 
'Net-based communication.
