A student life approach to illegal file sharing
March 25, 2007 Filed in: Digital
piracy
Jim Davis, UCLA’s AVC-IT and CIO, testified before a
Congressional hearing chaired by Representative
Howard Berman entitled An Update – Piracy on University
Networks on March 8, 2007. His testimony,
A Student-Life Approach to
Copyright Infringement at UCLA, articulates
UCLA’s student-life approach to this issue.
Two articles covering this hearing are Congress is Unhappy With Higher Ed’s Copyright Infringement Activities and the Washington Post’s article Music Industry Tightens Squeeze On Students Campus Network Access Targeted. (Interestingly, BusinessWeek’s April 9, 2007 article Now Playing: Digital Disarray, supports the argument that good business models aren’t there yet.)
Jim also testified in October 2004 before the same subcommittee on the UCLA Quarantine Approach and Studios Working Group.
