Boing Boing: Universities put Hollywood ahead of students

On the heels of yesterday's post about USC's lunatic copyright policy, many readers have written in with more examples of copyright lunacy on USC and other campuses, instances in which scholarship is being trumped by a desire to appease the entertainment industry, enforcing rules that don't take any account of the limits put on copyright by lawmakers in order to preserve public rights and especially the right of scholars and researchers to pursue their work.

Cory's doing great job covering how USC and other universities misinform their students about copyright. I'm disappointed to see these institutions turning into Big Content's stooges, putting students and academic freedom in jeopardy for the sake of a single industry's business model.
