Submission + - Report warns against well-meaning net censorship (yahoo.com)

athloi writes: ""Governing the Internet," issued Thursday by the 56-nation Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, called the online policing "a bitter reminder of the ease with which some regimes — democracies and dictatorships alike — seek to suppress speech that they disapprove of, dislike, or simply fear." (Neat how they point out that democracies do it too.) http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070727/ap_on_hi_te/in ternet_restrictions"

Submission + - Real Science using SL and WOW

Gablar writes: "Are Virtual world a fertile ground for research? In this Science Magazine article the author contends that Virtual worlds are fertile grounds for research oportunities on social science, economics and other fields. The author uses WOW and SL as the major examples of virtual worlds and describes some of the current research in SL and WOW. Do virtual worlds have enough parallels with reality to become research platforms?"

Submission + - University of Kansas will not forward RIAA letters

Bonewalker writes: Looks like the University of Kansas may not be as pro-RIAA (or anti-student) as initially assumed last week from this recent Slashdot story. Of course, this doesn't make that "one-strike" policy any less flawed, but it shows that they aren't simply throwing their students under the RIAA bus, as one poster put it. As an alum, I am happy to see this. I wonder if they needed to get a story like this out to help combat the backlash and stigma from that previous article, though?
