JD, You know better than posting information without citing a source! Well, I'm sure it was just a mistake... unless you have a PACER account and researched the list like TechTV did. :)

Actually, I tried for 5 minutes to get through to techtv.com so that I could get the proper url, but the either the servers were overloaded or the site was down yesterday.

Colleges warn students on sharing music
Front page story in today's Boston Globe: Some colleges warn students on sharing music.
Boston College, DePaul University, and several other US schools are laying down some entertainment law as part of freshmen orientation this summer: If the recording industry catches you sharing copyrighted music files, they say, we won't protect you.As the recording industry deepens its crackdown on Internet music piracy, administrators at several major universities said they are now spending an unprecedented amount of orientation time educating students about copyright infringement and fielding questions from an increasing number of parents who are concerned about file-sharing. And their message to students and parents is stark.
''They said, `If the record industry comes here with a list of addresses, we're going to have to turn them over,' '' said Michael Trapanese, 18, a student from Kinderhook, N.Y., who will attend Boston College in the fall. ...
Doubts still plague online music
Despite the fact that major music companies have finally joined Internet services to offer a much greater variety of authorized online music than a year ago, market growth is sputtering as the industry remains mired in legal and business problems, judging from what entertainment and Internet insiders had to say at the Jupiter Plug.IN Conference & Expo in New York this week.Contention over publishing contracts, debate over how restrictive to make digital rights management, or DRM, copy controls, continuing use of unauthorized file-swapping sites, and failure to capitalize on new marketing techniques made possible by the Web continue to curb growth, according to speakers here. ...

Study: U.S. swappers shrug off copyright
CNET News.com: Study: U.S. swappers shrug off copyright.
More than two-thirds of Americans who swap songs online don't care whether the music is copyrighted, according to a study, despite the record industry's antipiracy crackdown.The Pew Internet and American Life Project study, released Thursday, found that 67 percent of U.S. Internet file swappers are indifferent to copyright concerns, a jump from 61 percent in a survey from the summer of 2000. The survey, of 2515 adults in the United States, took place from March through May--just a few months before the recording industry began gathering evidence to sue individual file swappers. ...

Rush Limbaugh is always right
In the LA Times' CalendarLive: Rush Limbaugh -- whom I watched jump from the Sacramento radio market to national fame -- is marking his 15th year in the big leagues. We have him to thank for the coarsening of public debate on the airwaves.

Senator wants answers from RIAA

Weddings in IP land
I leaped to a wrong conclusion about IP stars Donna Wentworth and Siva Vaidhyanathan, who are both getting married -- but not to each other. Apologies ... and many congratulations on your independent nuptials.
Donna Wentworth said:
Oh dear me, did I give the impression we were a couple?
No, no, I simply stole a *headline* from Siva! Because I noted we were similarly blessed in finding partners-in-life at roughly the same time.
Joe said:
Neither of you guys (Siva and Donna) name your mates... Siva does say, "Hook 'em Horns" which is usually reserved to refer to the Longhorns of UT (Austin).
Donna Wentworth said:
I could see only afterward that I'd implied something there, but no harm done--none at all! I was amused/bemused.
For the record, my mate's name is Jarrod. He doesn't run in IP circles--and hopefully, not many circles at all ;-)

Howard Dean's Internet advisor
David Weinberger comes out of the closet and announces for Howard Dean. In fact, he has become the Dean campaign's "Senior Internet Advisor." Nice going, David.
Me? I'm still on the fence, and will probably remain so until early next year. I like Dean and John Kerry but I also like John Edwards, who hasn't gotten much media attention but may be Bush's toughest opponent.
I would like to believe David's suggestion that energizing the disenfranchised to vote is a superior strategy to appealing to centrist voters, but in the post-9/11 world, I'm not convinced that's a winning strategy. And the latest polling seems to bear that out.
Damn, what's the deal with white men, anyway?
