| Abstract: | Higher education once again finds itself in the midst of the copyright debate, as an increasing number of faculty and students use file-sharing technology. How can we protect the openness of the academy and the privacy of our faculty and students—and encourage creativity and research—while complying with new laws designed to curb digital piracy? This session explores the potential impact of pending congressional legislation and recent court decisions, and examines whether an elusive technology fix is the right approach. | |
