Dear Friends,
Since we have talked about copyright several times, you may be interested in this article from Forbes which suggests that copyright is dying, and even the most extreme penalities, like SOPA, may not be able to keep it alive.

If this is true, how will it affect us in higher education?  Will there be a replacement for copyright, and, if so, what will it look like?  Will we all adopt the creative commons, or something else?
