>What would copyright utopia look like? Do you envision an island
>paradise surrounded by oceans of free content lapping at your feet? Is
>every piece of data or content freely and fully available--no
>restrictions, no fees, and no questions asked? Or is everything under
>lock and key with access granted only to a privileged membership? Or do
>you wish to live somewhere in between? As colleges and universities
>continue to make decisions managing third party copyrighted works, let's
>pause and ask difficult questions of our legal structure and human
>needs. What methods and policies would best serve students, faculty,
>publishers, and the academic enterprise?
