Best Answer

As with all medical professions, copyright affects how information is distributed. Photocopying a journal article may be accepted, but scanning it to pdf may be considered infringing (a photocopy is one copy; a scan is infinite copies). While the content of a helpful chart may not be protected, the design of the chart may be. As distance learning and distance diagnosis become more common, copyright law will never catch up new technologies, so both content users and content providers are left guessing every time something new comes along.
