How does providing Napster educate students about copyright?
By making Napster available at a very low cost to its students, Vanderbilt has provided a convenient way for students to obtain music legally. It is hoped that this initiative will curb the problem of illegal sharing of copyrighted files, while teaching students the concept of copyright and the importance of using legal means to obtain music. The Napster initiative is just a part of Vanderbilt’s effort to educate the academic community about copyright and other related information and resources; see the ITS Policies relating to Computing And Networking.
