Jeremiah's not as fun for me to read, but there's some great truth in there too. Prophets are individuals who have received a call from God to reveal His will to a group of people and who accept that call. This is the definition of a prophet in its highest, most original sense. The definition has become watered down as God has been excluded from society. If you look, both Jeremiah and Isaiah include chapters where these prophets received their calls from Deity and accepted the call. The Book of Mormon also has several accounts of men who were called of God to act as conduits, so to speak, from Him to civilizations. http://mormon.org/book-of-mormon?gclid=CKeigNTVsq8CFW-CtgodBi8qiA I love Isaiah!

Actually, Baylor's Electronic Library is quite active in disseminating material and holding discussions regarding copyright issues. You can find a ton of information here: http://www.baylor.edu/copyright/. Unfortunately, Baylor (like most schools) typically adopts a correct-the-mistaken-assumption approach to the copyright discussion. That approach has its place, no doubt, but there is also a need for thinking about fair use more vigorously, as well as thinking about how copyright law might be modified so that it actually rewards innovation instead of throttling it so Mickey Mouse won't enter the public domain (true story). For further reading, some links: Remix (on our ATL Kindles, by the way): available a free download at http://www.archive.org/details/LawrenceLessigRemix. Lessig's a huge and influential voice in this area and has written many books on the subject; this is his most recent.
