I am hoping for a joint venture with MIT opencourseware. Google is already scanning all of the books in University libraries. Why not set up some web cams in the lecture halls and stream college lectures our way while they are at it? I'd like to virtually eavesdrop on some lectures
Probably because it will result in a nice, fat class action lawsuit. But when has that ever stopped them before?
This prospect does raise an interesting question, however: what are college selling--knowledge or a degree? And, what do they have proprietary rights over? I wonder what Lawrence Lessig would say.
