There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Acknowledging that getting users to pay for digital content is a vexing problem, TyAnna Herrington, professor in School of Literature, Media, and Communication, sees the copyright lawsuits "as an opportunity to cast a wide net and see what pops up.” "I don't see this as a way to fight copyright abuse," she added. "It's more a way to make a lot of money real quick." Source: Atlanta Journal Constitution - July 11, 2012
