TEACH vs. DMCA Showdown Looming

Posted by timothy on from the shuttle-at-the-ready dept.

TVmisGuided writes "A copyright showdown between the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) and the Teach (Technology Education and Copyright Harmonization) Act is brewing that will have serious implications on the future of higher education on-line. The article from Chronicle.com spells out the upcoming brouhaha. IMO, this will be one of the strongest litmus tests of the DMCA since it was signed into law in the U.S."

    I used cyborg_monkey's Bone-O-Rama software to get this FP.

    I failed to select the "Include Bone-O-Rama Tagline" checkbox and the identifier was thus left off of my otherwise well crafted post. Won't happen again.

    Too Funny!!
    France, Germany and Belgium are talking about combining their armed forces.
    LOL Talk about a cabal of cowardice! This may lead to the creation of the mightiest force for appeasement and capitulation the world has ever known.
    These assholes really know how to provide comedy!
    The gutless frogs, krauts and sprouts combining a fighting force--makes me shake in my boots.
    US would crush that alliance like a boot stomps a fleeing cockroach.
    And to think these spineless cowards were our allies in facing down the Soviet Union scares the hell out of me. Thank God President Reagan defeated the russkies without the help of those womanly countries.
    How can you tell who is a French soldier?/ The guy with the sunburned armpits!
    PEACE OUT as soon as we crush Iraq. Gutless Euro-Trash losers.

    That I won't be able to double my earnings with a college degree? Since we all know that Professionals with degrees can earn up to $2.2 million more? Oh well, at least I'll still be able to enlarge my penis, earn large amounts of cash for doing nothing, meet sexy singles in my area, lost 50 pounds in 2 days...
