Copyright Clashes on Campus
Dames, K Matthew
Information Today, May 2007, v24, # 5, pp19-21
Recently, the Recording Industry Association of America informed Syracuse University about potential copyright infringement stemming from the exchange of digital music files.

Matthew Dames is the executive editor of CopyCense (www.copycense.com).
