“How can anyone take you seriously when you cannot write a proper and cogent sentence. “Affects” is a verb. The phrase your tiny misbegotten troll mind is searching for is “effects of infringement”. Now go and get an education and leave me alone.”

“Affect” can be used as a noun as well as a verb.

Hi Mike:

If I thought this was a troll post, it would be gone. But I think it may be someone’s attempt at humour. We’ll see.

These are early days for my anti-troll policy and I’m still feeling my way. I don’t want to toss the baby out with the bathwater.

Cheers!

Jon, I thought you banned these illiterate pea brained trolls.

Nice to see universities acting in the interests of the RIAA. After all, we, the RIAA, have done so much to try to educate students and learning institutions about the misguided practice of piracy.

Any universities or students concerned about the affects stealing of music has on the economy of our great nation, please visit us at

“UD students are being issued pre-litigation settlement letters from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) recommending a financial settlement or threat of lawsuit.”

Since you recommend it I will settle:

“Frank went on to say, “We’ve negotiated very inexpensive deals for students. Napster is $2 a month and offers 3 million songs.”

Frank you are an idiot! It’s not a question of price, if $2 is a good deal or not, it’s that these services are not really userfriendly. Why would a student want a service that will not work with his prefered mobile musicplayer? Napster does not “offer” songs (at least not now!) They rent the students some DRMed shit that tehy can not use hazzle free, thats why students go for p2p-mp3)

“We have also spent a lot money and time marketing them.”

Bad enough that you spend money that is supposed to used for educational stuff for marketing of crappy Big 4 “product” Maybe you should better had used “a lot” of money to educate your students about geography for example! (Me seen lately again some statistics that many americans have no clue where what is in the world)
