Technology in the classroom is nothing new, but with the rise of smartphones, smart boards and tablet computing, the way teachers and students use and engage with media continues to grow and evolve. Any time educational content is used, shared or created, whether by teachers or by students, IP laws and, specifically, copyright laws, are implicated. Administrators, teachers and students must all be aware of what activity is freely permissible under U.S. Copyright Law, and what sort of activities might run afoul of the law.

SEC Update: Virtual Organizations and the SEC - July 2017Christina Gagnier
On July 25, 2017, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an investigative report regarding the sales of digital assets by virtual organizations through offers and sales that have come to be known as “Initial Coin Offerings” and “Token Sales.”
In Release No. 81207, “Report of Investigation Pursuant to Section 21(a) of the Securities and Exchange Commission Act of 1934: The DAO,” the SEC gives its first guidance as to whether or not it may view initial coin offerings and token sales as a security offering. The following provides a brief overview of the SEC’s report.

The move by many schools to adopt cloud-based data storage and data analytics solutions is unsurprising, since schools can generate significant pedagogical value through use of these technologies. With these rewards come broad risks associated with legal and regulatory data privacy compliance. Given the slew of recent retail industry data breaches making national headlines, the risks of data collection and storage are immediately apparent. With data privacy on everyone’s mind, there has never been a better time for school administrators to fully evaluate and address their student data privacy policies.
GAMAByte: The Legal Ramifications of Going 3D (Printing, That is)Christina Gagnier
3D printing has been around since the early 1980s, but over the last several years has gained widespread attention as costs have dropped and access to the technology has grown. While it is possible to surmise what areas of law may be most implicated by broad adoption of 3D printing, one can only guess how their application might shape the future of manufacturing.
GAMABrief: Preparing for the Capital Gains Tax HikeChristina Gagnier
Tax season is just around the corner and changes to the capital gains tax rates will affect taxpayers filing their returns at the beginning of 2014. If you sold capital assets during 2013, you might be subject to the increased rates. This brief provides important information on preparing for the capital gains tax hike.
Capital gains tax is the tax on capital asset profits—the profit made from selling an item bought for personal investment. On January 1, 2013, the government passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA). The ATRA added a top federal income bracket of 39.6% and increased the long-term capital gains tax rate to 20% starting in the 2013 tax year.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. When

Student
Infringes
Another’s
Copyright
Using
a
School
Computer
!
The introduction of Internet access on campus further complicates intellectual property issues for a school. With free access to
the Internet, students may be able to illegally copy and distribute protected works – most notably songs and movies – through
the use of file sharing networks. As the owners and managers of the computers on which the infringement occurred, schools
could potentially face liability in their own right for aiding in that infringement. This is known as “contributory” or “vicarious” liability.
!
U.S. copyright law does provide a way for colleges and universities to mitigate this risk. If non-profit institutions of higher
education take certain measures, including informing their students about their obligations under copyright laws, they can take
advantage of a “safe harbor” passed as part of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
!
There is no similar safe harbor provision targeted directly towards primary and secondary schools. Yet, the DMCA does allow any
organization that provides Internet services to obtain immunity for copyright infringement if the organization follows a detailed list
of procedures.
!
A copyright attorney can help schools at all levels more fully understand their intellectual property risks and develop strategies to
allay those risks.

Managing
Your
School’s
IP
Liabili)es:
Adop)ng
an
IP
Policy
!
Every school needs a network or content usage policy. A comprehensive policy will include references to copyright law and will
layout exactly what sort of behavior is and is not permissible on school computers. For example, file sharing through peer-to-peer
networks like BitTorrent should be prohibited, as a school could incur liability if a student engages in copyright infringement using
school property. Similarly, student use of school computers to directly repost or share images or music on the Internet should
generally not be allowed without direct supervision and guidance from teachers.
!
To put this content usage policy into effect, schools should also take the time to train their faculty and administration on the value
of copyright and other IP law. Teachers should, in turn, make students aware of what activity is permissible online. Such a lesson
could tie in the legal boundaries of copyright law with the moral implications of plagiarism and academic integrity. Teachers can
describe when a student can permissibly quote a book in an essay, use someone else’s photograph in a project or play a popular
song during a presentation. Teachers can also explain to students how students can protect their own original work.
!
In crafting a comprehensive content policy, schools should rely on the expertise of an intellectual property attorney to help them
understand the nuances of IP law.

!
On the flip side, school districts may be able to use copyright laws to generate additional revenue from their curricula. Many
school districts have already taken advantage of their unique curriculum, lesson plans and instructional tools by packaging and
selling or licensing them to teachers around the country.
!
While all private schools are probably able to copyright their work, only some public schools around the country will be able to
avail themselves of federal copyright protection. This is because the U.S. Copyright Act specifically does not extend copyright
protection to works created by federal government employees. The law is silent, however, as to the rights of state government
employees, such as public school teachers. Due to this discrepancy, courts have decided that it is up to each state to extend
copyright protection to their government employees.
!
Some states, such as California, have taken advantage of this and extended copyright protection specifically to educators within
the state. This means that California school districts can use federal copyright law to protect, license and sell their teaching
materials.
!
Teachers who wish to sell their curricula should be careful, though, as the school district may actually own the rights to any work a
teacher creates while he or she is on the job. An attorney can help determine copyright ownership and draft effective licensing
agreements that can generate value for all parties involved.
