Copyright Law

I currently work for a Madison, WI based online retailer managing system and network infrastructure. I've previously worked for the information technology department at the University of Wisconsin, Division of University Housing, where a portion of my job responsibilities included the processing of copyright related cease-and-desist (DMCA) notifications and the technical aspects relating to the recording industry pre-litigation campaign targeting colleges and universities. [I should note that while Joel Tenenbaum was a college student at the time of the alleged copyright infringement he was not living in a University operated residence facility, and the incarnation of the pre-litigation program of which I was involved had not yet been created.]

While I anticipate my twitter updates may be less frequent during this trial than the previous, I will also be providing them at: http://twitter.com/mwbourgeois

Thank you and I look forward to providing readers this first-hand perspective of events this week.
