Dear Professionals The publishers and authors are now taking up arms against book piracy, but they'll follow the beaten path through the courts and wind up trying to swat down every showoff kid, ISP, and Internet file trader who might have any involvement in the creation, transfer, or storage of illegal copies of paper books.

SETTING UP SPECIAL EDUCATION ZONES
by Mailing List Manager 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2005 23:22:05 -0800 (PST) From: alex arun <antony_alex2k(a)yahoo.com> The Hindu ; 12/01/2005 NASSCOM CHIEF FOR SETTING UP SPECIAL EDUCATION ZONES Bureaucracy in education is "constraining" its development and one way to remove the shackles is to set up Special Education Zones on the lines of Special Economic Zones, says Kiran Karnik, president, National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM). Interacting with mediapersons on the sidelines of `Information Technology, Information Technology-Enabled Services Industry-Academia Meet 2005' at Bannari Amman Institute of Technology here on Wednesday, Karnik said, "This Special Education Zone can be carried out on an experimental basis at four to five places and, if the model proves successful, it can be extended to all corners of the country." The constraints imposed by governments "make it difficult" for professional colleges to function, he pointed out. Karnik said those wanting to set up institutions in those zones should be able to do so with minimum hassles and run the institution with "complete autonomy." The colleges must be able to frame their own syllabi, fix the fee and decide on students' in-take. http://www.hindu.com/2005/12/01/stories/2005120106210500.htm
