They are forming Free Culture groups on campuses to explain
Copyright law to fellow students. Stressing its importance for culture and
society, the group says copyright law is being abused. To illustrate
their point, the groups hold remixing contests, promote open-source
software and rally against legislation like the Induce Act, which
would hold technology companies liable for encouraging people to
infringe copyrights.
