Freedom Under Threat at Cambridge? via FOS News
Quote: "Freedoms at Cambridge University are under threat. A policy change proposed by the University's Vice-Chancellor will have a number of serious consequences for academics, for the student body and for the wider community.
Previously, the copyrights and other intellectual property rights in academic work at the University belonged (with a few narrow exceptions) to the people who did the work. The Vice-Chancellor's proposals will turn that round completely:"
Comment: Rights seems to be the cry of education/entertainment these days. Seems to be at odds with much of what the Internet is about. Sharing and building resources together is (from my perspective) far more effective than having one person do it all. However, even then, I guess someone has to own it. Seems whacked that institution and instructor can't work out an arrangement that acknowledges each other's rights/needs (sort of like joint copyright).
