Numbers in aggregate certainly shouldn't point any fingers at specific institutions, so in that regard this sounds better. The companies sending DMCA takedown notices should already know how many they've sent out (and to whom), so I don't see an ad hoc report providing additional ammunition there either. It's certainly better than foo.edu saying "We got 300 DMCA notices this month, that's more than we got all of last year." and then getting that ill-thought admission published. - ken Bob Bayn wrote:
Good point, Ken. For anyone who sends their school name, I'll replace it with my assessment of the geographic region. To further obscure institutional identity, I'll change the student counts to size classes before reporting back next week. Is there any concern that the sanitized tabulation could cause any PR or legal grief?

While this all might be interesting to lots of people here, this is a *public* list with searchable archives. Similar information posted to another public list a couple years ago garnered some (what I'll call) negative publicity for the institutions that shared. - ken Bob Bayn wrote:OK, instead of filling up everybody's inbox with little messages, if anyone wants to send the following info to me, I'll post a summary the first of next week: # of DMCA take-down complaints so far in 2009 # of students # of students in on-campus housing actions taken to block limit or shape P2P traffic geographic region (I won't report school names unless you want me to, but it's interesting that most of the RIAA's top 25 schools are in the East and that has always been a curiosity to me)
