IP Democracy: iTunes University

iTunes has a been a force for bad and good music, bad and good books and bad and good television. But now the audio and video online store is playing a role in helping make the world a smarter place — Stanford University is making a wide-range of lectures, speeches, debates and other content available to the public at no charge via Apple’s video and audio store.

And the sessions in higher learning have been a hit. Through the end of the Fall semester in December, Stanford’s content was getting 15,000 tracks a week accessed at iTunes. The university plans to expand the coverage to include sports, with Stanford’s athletic matches slated to be available in video podcast form at iTunes.
