He’s probably been hearing only the lies of highly paid industry lobbyists with direct access, and those of avowed industry supporter and vp-to-be Joe Bidden. But the Net could change that. Its access is even more direct." Someone should show Obama your site... However, I'm sure that he's as corrupt as the next president and it won't matter. “It’s unlikely at this point.

File sharing now = instant file transfer for students. Chop the heads off a few and hope it coerces the society; fortunately it doesn't work quit the same with private copying. @above , I have heard of such policies but its more of a 3 strikes and your internet is out for semester because you made the admins read a useless email from an anti-p2p RIAA/MPAA front. However its only in your dorm, the student/teachers school network account will still have internet privelages (i.e. library, classroom, wifi) and even then you are given the chance to appeal the decision with the network admins. So what incentive is their to really stay away from private copying for educational purposes? Judicial process? What a JOKE. The judicial process is writing a letter in appeal.. jeez im frightened hope I dont get another ludicrous email on activities that the composer cant even prove existed. its always easier going after the people with static ips… most colleges/universities around here are filtering BT to the point its unusable so DC++ is the hit and the MAFIAA cant touch it!

When the school receives notice from the RIAA, the student's internet in their dorm room is completely disabled for ten days. If they receive a second notice, their internet is disabled for twenty days. If they receive a third notice the matter is turned over to Judicial court.
