Student Government Meets Federal Government

This past Friday I had the unique opportunity to take a trip to Washington, D.C. with several members of EDUCAUSE, a higher education organization dedicated to the "intelligent use of information technology." Representing UMBC students and the UMBC Student Government Association along with SGA President Jay Lagorio, we presented a student perspective on a very significant issue: sharing of copyrighted materials on college and university campuses. More specifically, we were advocating against Section 494(a)(2) from H.R. 4137, the College Opportunity and Affordability Act of 2007.

Steve from EDUCAUSE connected us with some people over at Digital Freedom and I got to write a guest blog for their site. Head over there and check it out, along with the rest of the information and news they have about protecting your Digital Rights.
