Copyright 499: Pwned

I've mentioned his work before, but if Cory Doctorow is still not on your radar, check out Brock Read's latest in the Chronicle of Higher Education: "A Blogger Infiltrates Academe."

An Annenberg Fellow at USC this year, Mr. Doctorow teaches an upper- division course on copyright (and copywrong). His students are podcasting the class; sound quality is sub-optimal, but I find them immensely informative and entertaining.

Another interesting note: frustrated by Blackboard's CMS, Mr. Doctorow and his students established a blog to manage course content. Well worth a look.
