RE: Scholars push for freedom from digital copyright restrictions

["Margaret Landesman" <margaret.landesman@library.utah.edu>]

On another (in this case, sort of related to faculty issues) I.P. front, I
am just reading a truly interesting article by Malcolm Gladwell in the
November 22 New Yorker, p.40.  "Something Borrowed - Should a charge of
plagiarism ruin your life?"

[MOD. Note:  As of Friday, 11/26, Mr. Gladwell's piece is available at the
following URL.  It's worth a read, as are pretty much all his pieces. See
if you agree about where the piece (ambiguously) ends.]
