Declan,

I found this in my surfing today, and thought Politech readers might be
interested, considering the recent coverage of the RIAA's false accusations
and apologies to Penn State.

Penn State President Graham Spanier will be discussing file sharing on
University campuses in an online chat at the Chronicle of Higher Education.

The blurb refers to Spanier as "a national leader in addressing the issue of
file sharing on university campuses" and also notes that he recently
testified before the US Congress about file sharing.

Having attended Penn State during Spanier's time there, I know he can and
does fight valiantly for students' rights, particularly freedom of speech
and expression. He's certainly faced his share of controversy, but he often
has interesting and worthwhile insights, and I'm sure his chat tomorrow will
be quite interesting.

Hope some Politechers get a chance to participate.

Ben
