Congress taking an active role in campus piracy

Congress has been putting pressure on universities to better protect copyright laws. Lawmakers have sent out surveys to 19 universities in order to find out what is being done about the issue and how they are suited to prevent it in the future. Congress states that universities have an obligation to ensure that students do not use campus connections for illegal purposes.

The surveys are expected to aid congress in drafting new laws to protect copyrights on campuses. It is unclear whether universities will reply at all however.
