Doctorow @ USC
School's just started and Annenberg's new Fellow, Cory Doctorow, is already making some very useful observations:
Boing Boing: USC's bizarre, non-legal copyright policy.I'm spending the year at the University of Southern California on a Fulbright chair. Yesterday, some of my students forwarded me a memo sent to them by USC Deputy Chief Information Officer and Vice President for Student Affairs on "Copyright Compliance."
It purports to inform students about the contours and boundaries of copyright, but actually presents a collection of scare-tactic half-truths and astonishing statements about the purpose of the university.
Should be a very productive year...

brilliant.

that's why i didn't sign any of my forms. ;)
And there's enough bureaucracy at USC that they just forget about you.
