CSc 114 Section E

Find an article about copyright and the web. Some things you might look for are file piracy, the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act), DRM (Digital Rights Management), or legal advice to folks who are creating web pages. Read the article and write a summary. Your summary should be one to one and a half pages, double-spaced. Do use a word processor, and avail yourself of the spell checker. Your summary must contain a citation of the article summarized sufficient that the reader can find it easily.

You may choose a printed article from any serious publication. (This generally excludes those which routinely discuss abduction by UFOs.) If in doubt, ask your instructor. Chose an article which is at least one printed page in length.

Online articles are generally allowed, but you should have them approved first; feel free to email a link to Dr. Bennet to ask. The length of an on-line article should be comparable to the one-page requirement for printed articles. Buzzle articles are not acceptable.

Hand in a copy of your article with your summary.

Please write your own summary. If you can find it on-line, so can I.
