Last Friday, August 21, the Department of Education issued its
long-awaited Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) related to
Peer-to-Peer File Sharing on campus networks. The proposed
regulations reflect the agreement reached by representatives of
higher education and the entertainment industry during Negotiated
Rulemaking sessions held earlier this year. Comments are due by
September 21. The final regulations must be posted by November 1 in
order to be officially enforced beginning July 1, 2010.
The full NPRM is at <http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/pdf/E9-18550.pdf>
A summary of the key provisions is at <http://www.educause.edu/node/178175>
