great! i guess portraying me as a 'conspiracy theorist' would trivialize the issue i am speaking for. actually, if you are attending the AOIR conference this fall, you can ask my instructors that question. i know life is full of risk. it is very convenient to say that atop the "ivory towers'. i am sure people would be happy to risk going on a rendition flight to cuba/poland than taking a course on cyberlaw & copyright. i rest my case. miraj --- air-l-request@listserv.aoir.org wrote: Message: 2 Date: 09 Mar 2007 15:26:06 -0600 From: burkx006@umn.edu Subject: Re: [Air-l] turnitin issue [and privacy+security of students] To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org On Mar 9 2007, Miraj Khaled wrote:

No. But, then, we aren't certain that your instructors aren't secretly working for the CIA, either. Life is full of risks. You have to prioritize. DLB -- Dan L.
