The rule was the result of a petition brought by clinic students Mark Patrick and Sarah O’Connor ….. To help MOOC faculty and staff understand and apply the new rule, Peter Decherney and I have prepared a short FAQ.” http://ipclinic.org/2016/01/22/fair-use-moocs-and-the-digital-millennium-copyright-act-frequently-asked-questions / The PDF is at the bottom of the page.
