Also, on Thursday, students

Town Hall meeting #2.
In "Free Speech for Sale" note the concepts and material emphasized
in the Web summary above.
No summary of "Freedom of Expression: Resistance and Repression in the Age of
Intellectual Property" will be posted. Note the concepts "cultural commons" and
"clearance culture" as well as ways of "fighting back."
Online discussion ends Fri., Nov. 13 at noon. Make all entries before
then -- no more than 1 per day for credit, however.
The final take-home essay project assignment is available under
Assignments on the main J190 page. The essay is due Wed., Nov. 25 by noon
(the day before Thanksgiving). IF YOU WANT TO TURN IT IN AT A
LATER TIME (early in the week following Thanksgiving), see Pilgrim. A
later
due date (at no penalty) is possible until Tues., Dec. 1 at noon.
The final should be brought to class or slipped under Pilgrim's door at
his office, CF 265.
