Galactic threats to higher education and software development

It's the start of another school year, and evidently there was a sufficient threat to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to bring the Doctor openly to campus. But I'm not so sure he's going to succeed, because though there are some scurrilous rumors the attached recording came from the recent Google-Verizon talks, I suspect the reality is dangerous alien opposition to open source software development and net neutrality. Are they responding to the recent Copyright Office declarations on fair use?

    But if software advances are pushing peer-review out the door (Lamont is top-notch, I used her in my book) as this NYTimes article shows may be happening, can tenure be far behind?
