Higher education institutions are facing an increasing number of issues
in an attempt to comply with copyright law and also maintain an
atmosphere that promotes learning and academic freedom. Seminar
participants, panelist and presenters will explore in depth some of the
most pressing issues facing intellectual property policy and higher
education today. These issues include:

    -    The application of the TEACH Act and compliance issues for
higher education institutions

    -    The rise in demands for universities to crackdown on the use of
university networks for P2P file sharing.

    -    The development of alternatives to scholarly publishing models
to expand the public domain

    -    The impact of the DMCA on academic freedom

    -     The impact of recently proposed IP legislation on the higher
education community

Nationally recognized experts in copyright will discuss these issues
during the day and half seminar. For more information about speakers and
