DMCA, Presented at Policy Conferences

P2P Policy Updates: From Campus to Congress, and Now the State House
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:P2P Policy Updates: From Campus to Congress, and Now the State House (ID: POL08009)
Author(s):Thomas S. Danford (Tennessee Board of Regents), Terry W. Hartle (American Council on Education), Kent Wada (UCLA), and Charles F. Leonhardt (Georgetown University)
Origin:Presented at Policy Conferences (05/07/2008)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

Peer-to-peer file sharing remains a major headache for campus IT administrators, as the RIAA and MPAA aggressively explore the boundaries of litigation and legislation. This session will feature two panels of experts to discuss where we stand. The first panel will review the best current thinking on campus policy and technology options for coping with P2P issues: How to deal with DMCA notices, prelitigation letters, and John Doe lawsuits, and whether blocking and filtering technologies have matured to the point where they can help. The second panel will look at the current status of federal P2P legislation and also describe recent entertainment industry initiatives to enact such legislation at the state level.

Sharing Information and Controlling Content: Continuing Challenges for Higher Education
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Sharing Information and Controlling Content: Continuing Challenges for Higher Education (ID: POL0402)
Author(s):Edward Felten (Princeton University), Susanna Fischer (The Catholic University of America), Ric Hirsch, Robert Kruger, and Jason Schultz
Origin:Presented at Policy Conferences (2004)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Over the past year, higher education institutions have been working with the content industry (MPAA, RIAA, and so forth) to help reduce unauthorized sharing of copyrighted works through copyright education and legitimate music service pilot projects on campuses. In addition, the development of legitimate file sharing services such as Penn State's LionShare seek to eliminate the stigma associated with file sharing. Are these initiatives enough, or are we expected to do more to promote respect for copyright law, while ensuring free expression? Is the regulatory burden being imposed on universities pursuant to the DMCA justified? This panel will discuss whether higher education is meeting its "social responsibility" via these efforts and identify whether we will be forced to address new pressing copyright issues.

The Influence of Intellectual Property Rights Over Distance Education
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:The Influence of Intellectual Property Rights Over Distance Education (ID: NTW0204)
Author(s):Jonathan R. Alger (University of Michigan-Ann Arbor), Keith Kupferschmid, James G. Neal (Columbia University), and Sayuri Rajapakse
Origin:Presented at Policy Conferences (2002)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:As more higher education institutions offer online courses, the debate still rages over how content owners are to be fairly compensated and how library and higher education institutions are expected to prevent unauthorized distribution of content. Panelists will discuss the current status of this debate, how campus policymakers and legal counsel are cooperating with content providers (and avoiding potential lawsuits), and what the federal government has done in the wake of the DMCA and Congressional Web-Based Education Commission Report.
