Summary:

Colleges and universities, like all Internet service providers, may benefit from the safe harbor provided by the 
Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), provided that they take certain steps. They must, however, comply with the 
notification and written plan to reduce illegal file sharing requirements of the Higher Education Opportunity Act 
(HEOA). In this 60-minute session, an attorney and two college DMCA agents will discuss the requirements that the DMCA 
and HEOA impose on our institutions in an effort to educate DMCA agents, CIOs, networking staff, and college attorneys 
alike on this complex topic. Joseph Storch of SUNY, Heidi Wachs of Georgetown, and Kent Wada of UCLA will decipher this 
"alphabet soup," translating the legalese requirements into accessible English while answering frequently asked 
questions and offering best practices for compliance.
