Lecturer censored in Spanish University (UPV) for defending P2P networks

Such is the title of a post in Jorge Cortell's own blog describing his recent ordeal after he gave a lecture regarding the benefits of P2P networks, even when dealing with copyrighted works. The Polytechnic University of Valencia, acting as a pupet for the Spanish Recording Industry Association has gone to great extent to discredit him and remove him from his position, so now he has become sort of a martyr for the cause of P2P networks in Spain and with the growing coverage in the blogosphere he will certainly find new forums to present his ideas.

This Jorge Cortell guy has lost all creditability in Spain after spanish bloggers found out that his entire CV is fake. He doesn’t even have a bachelor’s degree.

In order to "silence" all his critics, Jorge created a new blog page --- and you have to register to post comments.

But in his new blog, Jorge Cortell PROUDLY proclaims that he received a B+ in a FIRST YEAR UNDERGRADUATE COURSE from Harvard EXTENSION SCHOOL (not the real harvard university, the night school/continuing education division of harvard). Tell me, if he has even a bachelor's degree, he would be taking GRADUATE courses (instead of freshmen undergraduate courses) in May 2005.

And in his new blog page, he no longer shows his CV. That tells you something.

This is his "old and fake" CV.

"University of Brantridge" does not exist in Hawaii. He only has a "Associate degree" from a community college. His Oxford "diploma" in not a real degree either.

Oxford designed this "diploma" (taken via internet) for the "unemployed" and housewifes with kids at home.

Oxford's requirement for this course --- word processing and spreadsheet.

In conclusion --- he doesn't even have a bachelor's degree.

And all his "post graduate courses" in spain --- doesn't count because you can't even enrol in those courses without a valid bachelor's degree.

Use Babelfish to translate the spanish websites.

Here is a collection of websites on him since May 2005, basically everything since May 22 have been saying that he is a fraud.

The spanish edition of wikipedia is preparing to kill Cortell’s entry because of his fake CV fiasco.
