This week on The Marketplace of Ideas, a conversation about the Encyclopædia Britannica’s Great Books of the Western World with journalist Alex Beam, author of A Great Idea at the Time: The Rise, Fall and Curious Afterlife of the Great Books. Launched in 1952 by “boy wonder” University of Chicago president Robert Hutchins and philosopher Mortimer Adler, the project collected works from the likes of Homer, Aristotle, Chaucer, Newton and Darwin, improbably going on to sell hundreds of thousands of sets via sometimes overly aggressive door-to-door salesmen before rapidly falling out of fashion.
The Marketplace of Ideas airs Tuesdays at 8am.

Update to Ask-A-Lawyer (December 20, 2008)
Associated Students’ Attorney Robin Unander reports: The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), primary prosecuting party for the music industry, has announced it will stop filing lawsuits against people who are caught illegally downloading or uploading music. Instead, it will have Internet service providers forward a warning letter to offending users. There will be no more payment demands to settle claims. If it is determined that a user is habitually violating the law, then the RIAA may pursue that person, but otherwise they are letting everyone else off the hook. This is in response to too much bad press for the recording industry from these lawsuits. Furthermore, it was a method that did not prove to be cost effective.
