Washington — Mark A. Luker, a vice president of Educause, said last night that his group was pushing lawmakers to block a measure designed to stem online swapping of music files on college campuses. The measure is part of legislation to reauthorize the Higher Education Act (HR 4137), which is scheduled for a vote today by the U.S. House of Representatives.
The controversial provision would require colleges to offer subscription-based music services or other “alternatives” to the “illegal downloading of music.” It would also require colleges to “explore technology-based deterrents to prevent such illegal activity.”
