...academic freedom” because existing software cannot distinguish between legal and illegal downloading, and would place pressure on universities. “It would require them to allocate resources at the bidding of the entertainment industry, to report on work done to enforce others’ copyrights, to implement impossible technologies, and to be named-and-shamed if they ended up on the ‘25 worst’ list,” Seltzer wrote in an e-mail. The legislation calls for the U.S. Secretary of Education to identify the 25 colleges and universities with the highest...

As a presidential contender, he has distanced himself from the Massachusetts program, which is proving costlier and more difficult to implement than advertised. He also says that what works for an individual state may not work nationally. "A one-size-fits-all national health care system is bound to fail," Romney said in introducing his plan last month...
