Digital age copyright challenge - Suzanne Zack, Advance University of Connecticut
Standing on the stage of Konover Auditorium on Tuesday, copyright expert Robert Oakley held up an iPod and asked how many in the audience had one, or a similar device that plays songs, podcasts and videos. Almost everyone’s hand went up. Then he asked how many people lawfully acquired and paid for the contents of their mp3 players. About half the hands remained up – along with nervous laughter. One need only witness the popularity of the iPod to understand how digital technology is revolutionizing copyright law today, said Oakley, Director of the Law Library and a Professor at the Law Center at Georgetown University.... Many of these issues affect universities and libraries directly, in areas such as distance learning, courseware (for example, WebCT), podcasts, and electronic reserves.
