Joint Committee of the Higher Education and Entertainment
Communities
The Joint Committee of the Higher Education and Entertainment
Communities was formed in 2002 to develop collaborative solutions to
address illegal file sharing on college campuses. The committee is
comprised of leaders representing universities, higher education
organizations, and music and motion picture executives.
The committee's goal is to provide a range of resources to school
administrators in three basic areas: educational efforts (including
practices surrounding the use of copyrighted works, student
responsibility, and implications for peer-to-peer network file sharing),
technological solutions (including computer network management
technologies available to reduce illegal file sharing and the
development of legal, campus-based music and movie/entertainment
services), and examining differences and exploring prospects for
collaboration on legislative initiatives.
