A number of important announcements, made in class
this morning:
- Wednesday's class (3/5) is cancelled, so
that students may participate in the protest of a pre-emptive strike
against Iraq (http://www.scpj.org).
- What would have been the 3/5 lecture will instead
take place on 3/10, which will be our last class meeting this quarter.
- The question for the final exam will be posted on
the class web site on 3/5, by noon. Your answers are due by 3/17,
noon.
- Those who have elected to write a research paper
also should turn it in by 3/17, noon.
- If you believe you will need an extension past 3/17,
you need to arrange this with me before this Friday, March 7th. Past
that date, there will be no extensions.
- If you have missed the last two class meetings,
I still have your corrected mid-term or annotated research paper proposal.
You may want to pick it up and read my comments before you write your
final or research paper. Send me an e-mail to arrange a pick-up. I
will also bring them to next Monday's class.

You should read a special report on the
entertainment industry, "How
to manage a dream factory", in this week's Economist (Jan 18,
2003, pp. 73-75) |

On Monday 1/13, an interesting talk on "Technology,
Law, and the Future of Entertainment" by Harvard Law Prof.
William W. Fisher, III.
Abstract: "In the past dozen years, we have
witnessed an accelerating set of changes in the ways in which music
and movies are made and distributed. Enormous social and economic
benefits could be reaped through full exploitation of the new technologies.
Sadly, the legal system has thus far frustrated rather than facilitated
realization of those benefits. This talk will explain how and
why things went awry and then explore three alternative ways in which
the legal system might be reformed."
