USC School of Cinematic Arts IP

We the undersigned students of the USC School of
Cinematic Arts (SCA) firmly oppose SCA's overbearing Intellectual
Property Policy.

SCA is one of the premier film institutions in the world, and we
expect it to foster a creative environment that allows us every avenue
of critique and exposure. In the past, a more intrusive Intellectual
Property policy may have been necessary, but with the advent of new
technologies and new means of distribution, these policies aren't
necessary.

We encourage the USC SCA to consider the benefits arising from wide
variety of commercial and artistic options available thanks to the
Internet.

We urge the USC SCA to evolve technologically and ideologically,
matching or exceeding the policies of like organizations across the
country and around the world.
