Plenary Session, 2008 EDUCAUSE Western Regional Conference. The attention of—and on—higher education has been focused on defensive measures to curb illegal file sharing. But the focus on higher education occurs in the context of a much larger national debate about the appropriate role of copyright and intellectual property in cyberspace. Simultaneously, myriad new business models and delivery options for online digital entertainment are being tested. What are institutions of higher education doing to curb illegal file sharing? What are the issues in the larger copyright debate? And what is the vision of the entertainment industry for offering digital entertainment online? A panel of distinguished experts - Greg DePriest (NBC Universal), Kenneth C. Green (The Campus Computing Project), and Fred von Lohmann (Electronic Frontier Foundation) - discuss these and other pertinent issues in the peer-to-peer file sharing debate.

Natural disasters and campus tragedies - September 11th, Katrina, Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois - highlight the need for higher education to improve its capacity during emergencies. Many institutions now utilize technology as part of a campus response program. New technologies provide new forms of communication and notification services to aid and assist business continuity and campus security. In this Ready2Net program, campus presidents, campus technology and telecommunications officials, and technology providers discuss the changing landscape of emergency response, crisis management, and campus security.

EDUCAUSE LIVE WebCast (7 Dec 2007): This presentation focuses on how associations representing the music and movie industries (the RIAA and MPAA) have targeted colleges and universities via press releases and Congressional lobbying initiatives while largely ignoring the much larger amount of unauthorized P2P file sharing taking place on commercial networks.

Keynote presentation prepared for the National Day of Distance Learning sponsored by the Brazilian Ministry of Education, the Association for Distance Education in Brazil (ABED), and CIEE (Sao Paulo, Brazil: 27 Nov 2007)
