Dear Copyright Friends and Colleagues:
At about the end of 2007, this website will be either reworked substantially or removed. The time has come to wind down the Copyright Management Center. It was the first office of its type at any university, and I have had the pleasure of serving as its director since inception of the CMC in 1994. I have been honored anytime anyone has used the site. But change is afoot. I will be relocating to Columbia University, where we are laying plans for a new website that should be ready for service in early 2008. I thank you, I thank everyone at IU and IUPUI, and I look forward to a productive future.
