Copyright and technology innovation in higher education

Abstract

Future Practical Management of Information Ethics Problems articles will focus upon intellectual property issues. This is an area where the boundary between the legal and ethical domains is both indistinct and rapidly changing. I am inviting legal experts to comment upon areas that are particularly relevant to higher education. Susan Ferencz Stager, former Director of Planning and Policy for Information Technology at Indiana University and current third-year Law student, provides insight into the tension between property protection and innovation in the following article. Her closing sentence should be taken as fair warning of a major ethical-legal issue your appropriate use policy needs to address.
