Uni Students Slammed For Music Swapping

jomaree writes "The SMH Online reports that Sony, EMI and Universal will be in the Federal Court today, in an attempt to stop students using uni computers to swap music files. Michael Speck, the director of Music Industry Piracy Investigations, is quoted as follows: 'And we're not talking about one track here, one track there,' he said. 'We're talking piracy, significant examples of piracy.' By contrast, Sydney Uni says it knows of one student with a handful of files on a website, which does actually sound quite a bit like one track here, one track there."

    did you know that your sig will crash your post?
    the statement:
    (*((char *)0))=0;

    tries to overwrite the memory at address 0 with a zero. generally this will generate a runtime error.

    but then maybe you intended to crash your post to demonstrate your freedom of speech :)
