Include information on intellectual property in the curriculum for introductory computer classes, especially Internet related classes. Every student should take a basic computer class as part of their general education requirements, for high school and college. All students should be made aware of the definition and various aspects of intellectual property. Many students are aware of intellectual property as regards to print, but not for other media. Classes in education, business, technology, computer science, and liberal arts should also contain a curriculum element on intellectual property.
Conferences are good tools for spreading the word.
Paper presentations and workshops dealing with intellectual property should be emphasized at conferences. The attendees need to be made aware of new legislation relating to intellectual property in their fields. The laws are changing constantly, especially with the development of new technology. Web pages, such as this one, will increase the awareness of intellectual property issues. The target audience of a web site like this one will likely be researching online to find information.
