[COULD YOU PLEASE SEND THIS MESSAGE TO YOUR READERS? THANK YOU.]

Greetings,

I would like you and your readers to know about �Copyright Colloquium,� a
new feature of The Media Institute�s Web site at
<www.mediainstitute.org/colloquium>.

Copyright Colloquium is an online forum for discussing and debating the
many issues surrounding copyright and intellectual property in the digital
age. This page features thoughtful pieces by persons of diverse and often
antagonistic views � scholars, policy analysts, current and former
government officials, attorneys, copyright holders, equipment makers,
artists, consumer advocates � a veritable who�s who in a virtual exchange
of opinion.

Readers have an opportunity to comment on all pieces, and selected
comments are posted. These can be short (i.e., �letters to the editor�) or
longer responses.

Copyright Colloquium is not a real-time �chat room� -- it�s a virtual
haven for informed opinion, new ideas, and provocative debate compiled by
The Media Institute�s editorial staff.

A number of articles are already posted on this new page.  We welcome
additional articles (750-2,000 words); responses to articles (200-500
words); and letters to the editor (up to 200 words).

Individuals who would like to write an article or response for Copyright
Colloquium should contact Rick Kaplar, editor, at
kaplar@mediainstitute.org. Article guidelines can be found on the CC page.  
Letters to the editor can be submitted directly through the CC page.  The
address again: <www.mediainstitute.org/colloquium>.

I hope your readers will check out this page often to see what�s new, and to
participate.

Sincerely,
Rick Kaplar
Editor, �Copyright Colloquium�
