It has been a wild week for me. Even as I was taking a few days off to celebrate Mardi Gras, the copyright world was spinning at full speed.

This week, even Congress got in on the act, passing the controversial College Opportunity and Affordability Act, which requires all universities participating in federal financial aid programs to devise plans for alternative offerings to illegal downloading.

Remember, as usual, this week’s linkroll is a “raw” link list. Some stories are duplicated, some do not point to their original sources and some may not be accurate. A great deal of refining goes into producing the show notes for the Copyright 2.0 Show.
