Extractions: Who Pays in the Network Era? David H.

Draconian anti-piracy laws go into effect without adequate resources for schools and libraries, then someone else may pay: the children cheated of the books and software that they need for the best education.

And the K-12 community is greatly benefiting this medium that lets millions talk and publish to each other electronically. The popular term here is "many to many." The community finds it a welcome change from the "one-to-many" model of TV networks and paper books. For example, rather than passively absorbing information from textbooks, students can exchange messages with young people in the next state or as far off as Australia or New Zealand. Suddenly students can learn geography and foreign languages directly from people abroad, or they can swap information in science experiments. What's more, students enjoy new opportunities to improve their reading and writing skills. Children can see complete strangers taking an interest in them and their writings; they can grow not only intellectually but also in self-esteem. Even
