Will Colleges and Universities Become Cybercops?

Title:Will Colleges and Universities Become Cybercops? (ID: ERM9942)
Author(s):Garret Sern (EDUCAUSE)
Topics:DMCA, Internet Gambling, Telecommunications Policy
Origin:Educom Review (Archives) (1999)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:As colleges and universities seek to provide ubiquitous Internet access and other network services for their faculty and students, service provider liability comes to the forefront as a major technology policy topic. Two recent congressional actions showcase how colleges and universities may find themselves either (1) receiving beneficial protections from liability or (2) being increasingly drawn into the legal morass of this new communications medium. This article discusses how the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act of 1999 could affect higher education institutions.
