-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Update on Marquette's Participation in BSA's "Define the Line" Program Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2005 15:33:05 -0600 From: Eric Goldman <egoldman@private> Reply-To: egoldman@private To: Declan McCullagh <declan@private> Previous Politech message: http://www.politechbot.com/2005/05/04/piracy-campaign-from/ Declan, back in May I wrote about Marquette's participation in the Business Software Association's "Define the Line" education campaign. Back then, the details were very sketchy about why Marquette joined the program and what Marquette promised to do. Between an article in the local student paper and a press release from Marquette, we've gotten a few more details. Marquette's participation has included: * issuing a second press release (I've posted the text on my blog) * distributing brochures and handouts during Preview weekends and Orientation * placing posters in high-traffic areas * discussing copyright infringement at a Campus Safety seminar (an expansive definition of "Campus Safety," no?) We've also learned that Marquette was introduced to the BSA through a BSA member who also donated $30M of software to the school. I've blogged more about this at http://blog.ericgoldman.org/archives/2005/09/details_on_marq.htm.
