Good Digital Citizenship: Examining Student Peer-to-Peer Activity at Illinois State University
Illinois State University has embarked on a comparative study of what works and what doesn't regarding peer-to-peer file sharing, media, and copyright on campus. After receiving almost 500 Digital Millennium Copyright Act complaints in the 2004–2005 academic year, the campus decided to explore the P2P issue in-depth and put in place a multifaceted plan to address it, working from the basis that the issues are education, ethics, and legal access rather than technology. The project has been strengthened by direct interaction with associations such as the Recording Industry Association of America and the Motion Picture Association of America, along with vendors. This seminar will share the project's history, explore its six tenets, and provide some early data results.
