Duke University Receives Grant to Limit Copyright Expansion
An anonymous donor has given $1 million to the Duke University Law
School to fund efforts to find "the correct balance" of copyrighted
material and that which is available in the public domain. The money
will fund a new center that will consider laws such as the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act and their impact on access to creative work. An
official at Duke said the balance between the rights of intellectual
property owners and the public domain has in recent years shifted in
favor of copyright owners, to the detriment of having "a rich culture
and an innovative society." CNET, 4 September 2002
