The title and the description of Roundtable 1 have been changed by Kim
Gainer and Laurie Cubbison
New Title:
Legal and Legislative Developments
New Description:
This roundtable will host a discussion of the year’s legal and
legislative IP developments as they affect students and educators. In
previous years, for example, our colleagues at this table have
discussed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which under
some circumstances can have an adverse impact on what students and
faculty are able to accomplish in the classroom. Other subjects of
discussion have included the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the
Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA), each proposed in 2011 and
withdrawn in 2012 in the face of intense criticism. Discussions have
also touched on court cases being closely watched by the educational
community, such as one involving Georgia State University’s system of
electronic reserves. No matter what the specific topics, discussion
will revolve around finding ways to safeguard the ability of students
and teachers to make appropriate use of copyrighted material in
furtherance of legitimate educational goals.
