spanish university teachers sacked over P2P

Jorge Cortell has been sacked from the Universidad Politecnica de Valencia for giving a lecture on legal issues around P2P networks, by the Dean apparently under pressure from music copyright organisations (4/5/05). This appears to be an outrageous situation, now staring to be reported around the world. Cortell is a rather radical proponent of 'cyberliberties', and apparently against copyright in all forms, including Creative Commons work. (El Mundo, 4/3/05)
