 Major entertainment industry players continue to decry what they perceive as an epidemic of "piracy" on campus networks, while sending a flurry of "DMCA notices" to university administrators demanding that they take steps to address the problem. While the recording industry's lawsuits against individual students have tapered off, the pressure continues to mount on university administrators. This workshop will bring you up-to-date on the legal issues surrounding peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing on campus networks and will also provide an up-to- the-minute overview of emerging solutions (such as the music industry's Choruss licensing offers). This workshop will also cover the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA).
Goals for the course:
Participation in this course will provide opportunity for:
- Discussion of peer-to-peer file sharing issues at universities;
- Discussion of the historical RIAA approach to file sharing on campus;
- Analysis of peer-to-peer file sharing at universities in light of the DMCA;
- Review and critique of emerging licensing solutions.
