backStudents are organizing to reform IP law Rachel Aviv writes about college students getting organized to fight the RIAA's attacks on downloading copyrighted songs link here. She quotes one student, "I was stunned by the extremity of the punishment for taking songs I could have bought for a few cents ... It seemed grossly out of proportion." The threat was a lawsuit with possible fines of $750 to $150,000 for each song. He settled for $3000 but has gone on to co-found a chapter of "Students for Free Culture, a national organization sprouting up on college campuses that advocates loosening the restrictions of copyright law so that information from software to music to research to art can be freely shared." The group now has chapters on 35 campuses, inspired initially by Larry Lessig's 2004 book, "Free Culture". Outrage is a great mobilizer.
