Penn State students blast Napster deal

This seems a little odd: So $160 per semester.

That works out $40 a month assuming the standard 4 month semsester. It seems to me that Napster only costs $10 a month to subscribe to. So what's the discount they talk about here?

This seems more like a levie on Students similiar to those on blank CDs. Now they have college/university levie imposed by the colleges/universities for use of thier network for possible illegal acitivities why they promote the legal activity.

SO... This is supposed to encourage students to use legal pay services? It seems to me that they opposite is going to occur. If Student A figures they have paid $40 a month then they can download what ever and how ever they like.

This looks bad to me for the RIAA but good for P2P services.; Posted by: voska Posted on: 11/07/03 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
