Doug and others on this list -- This isn't a DMCA issue, it's a patent infringement claim from Acacia Technologies Corp. For some background, see, for example: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&contentId=A54548-2003Dec10 http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/05/technology/05domain.html?ex=1090010495&ei=1&en=9d68e51cba95c9bd http://chronicle.com/prm/weekly/v50/i11/11a03501.htm http://chronicle.com/daily/2004/07/2004072202n.htm If you haven't yet, be sure to bring this to the attention of your campus legal office. You can also let them know that Wes Blakeslee, counsel for Johns Hopkins (wdb () jhu edu) has been coordinating a multi-campus effort to respond to the Acacia claims. I've seen half a dozen reports this morning. Good luck. Steve -- Steven L.
