The ivory towers are crumbling

A blog post I read recently reported that one US professor is now considering preventing his students from making notes during his lectures, because this action infringes his intellectual property! How ridiculous. What do their course fees entitle them to then? A glimpse of him on the stage every so often and the chance to sit occasionally at his feet to hear the pearls of wisdom? It never ceases to amaze me how arrogant and remote some academics can make themselves.
