Criminal Law in Virtual Worlds:The Volokh Conspiracy

Chris sez, \\\"This Wednesday we are going to protest at the State Capitol in Nashville against a Bill restricting the exchange of information at all institutions of higher learning. (Please help us spread the word to others!) Hearing scheduled for 8:30AM - Wed Feb 27th - Room LP 12.\\\"\\n\\n

\\nSummary: Requires every public institution of higher learning to, by\\nJanuary 15 of each year: (a) develop and enforce a policy defining\\ncomputer and network usage that clearly describes and prohibits the\\ninfringement of copyrighted works over the school\\\'s computer and network\\nresources; (b) thoroughly analyze its computer network, including local\\narea and internal networks to determine whether it is being used to\\ntransmit copyrighted information and either: (1) certify to the\\nTennessee Higher Education Commission that an analysis indicates that\\nthe network is not being used to transmit copyrighted works and that the\\ninstitution has not received ten or more legally valid notices of\\ninfringement in the preceding year or (2) take affirmative steps to\\nprevent the infringement of copyrighted works over the school\\\'s computer\\nand network resources.\\n\\n
