Always good for a link, George sent me a link to this EFF white paper:

Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) today released a white paper exploring solutions. Entitled “When Push Comes to Shove: A Hype-Free Guide to Evaluating Technical Solutions to Copyright on Campus,� the paper examines the benefits and drawbacks of several systems designed to combat infringement on university networks.

ways to reduce infringement without undermining education and research.
This paper explains what they are.�
