New Berkman WP: Educational Uses of Copyrighted Material

Bill McGeveran sez, “I am delighted to report that the Berkman Center has released the white paper on which I have been working, along with Professor Terry Fisher and a terrific team of Berkman fellows and Harvard Law students, for the last year. The Digital Learning Challenge: Obstacles to Educational Uses of Copyrighted Material in the Digital Age explores the ways in which copyright-related restrictions impede innovative educational uses of digital content.”

Get the paper here.  Congrats to Bill and the whole team on the release!

[update: whoops, seems my post led to Cory to think I was an author.  Love the paper, but I didn't work on it and can't take any credit for it.]
