Congress Seeks Tales of Piracy
Read, Brock
Chronicle of Higher Education, v53 n38 pA41 May 2007
This month, leaders of two committees in the U.S. House of Representatives sent letters warning of an epidemic of online music and movie piracy to 19 colleges, singling out those schools that, in the eyes of entertainment-industry officials, have been unable to stop students from illegally downloading music and movies. Enclosed with each message was a detailed questionnaire asking campus officials to describe their policies on peer-to-peer networking, network filtering, and computing-ethics education. Officials at many of the colleges that received the survey say that they plan to answer it in full. But some of those administrators argue that their institutions have been unfairly singled out, and are quick to note that the statistics kept by the recording- and film-industry groups are far from ironclad. A sample of questions from the survey is presented.
