Re: "Hollywood hacking bill"

I am already focusing on this. In fact I advise schools that students own the copyright to their creative works and that schools should get permission prior to publishing their work online. I also advise that student work should be published with their copyright notice. However, I suggest that the notice indicate that people may copy and distribute for non-profit purposes.
