\nEducation discussion to be held at noon tomorrow (Thursday). The announcement
\nfor this is at:<\/p>\n
\n700 colleges, announcing that it would soon let students accused of music
\npiracy settle their claims out of court before it officially filed suit. In
\nFebruary the trade group made good on its promise: It sent batches of
\n“pre-litigation notices” to 13 universities and asked those institutions to
\npass the messages along to students identified only by their Internet-protocol
\nnumbers. The notices direct recipients to a Web site and a telephone hotline to
\nwhich they can pay lump sums to record companies….<\/p>\n
\nthe recording industry’s new antipiracy endeavor….<\/p>\n
\nI am sending in:<\/p>\n
\nregard to copyright infringement. My question has to do with the proper roles
\nof each institution: Why is it the task of colleges to do this police work,
\nrather than the police?<\/p>\n
\nthe file and on what it is being used for. An accusation of music piracy is not
\na proof of music piracy: questions of evidence, and of fair use, and of
\neducational exceptions to infringement come into play.<\/p>\n
\nrecord companies,” colleges become an arm of the recording industry, bypassing
\ntheir educational role (teaching about fair use, for example) and bypassing due
\nprocess, if in fact there is a criminal charge to be made.<\/p>\n
\nwould Mr. Sherman respond to the background assumption here, that the industry,
\nthe colleges, and law enforcement are distinct institutions, and that there is
\ngood reason to keep their separate roles clear?<\/p>\n
