Let an agent explain copyright infringement, relay rights, exceptions, remedies and enforcement from intellectual property law sources, describe the named forms, route legal questions to lawyers, and distinguish infringement from fair use and fair dealing, plagiarism, trademark and patent infringement and licensed use.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
