Penn State Students to Get Free Music From Napster
Mr. Show writes "Napster and Penn State have unveiled a deal to give faculty and students free access to music beginning next spring. The deal would give students only limited access to downloads, so presumably most of the free music will come through the streaming service that would otherwise cost a monthly fee. Will this help curb piracy on college campuses?" It might, except for students that don't run Windows.
Students without windows? It must be tough being cramped up not being able to look outside from the dorm room.
It might, except for students that don't run Windows.
Oh wait...you mean those crazy linux people. Right. That's true, but those people are left-wing commie pirates and there's no stopping them anyway, so what does that matter?
Ahhh I can smell the stream rippers now. Smells like Napster Marshmellows all over again :)
WINE MOTHERFUCKER DO YOU SPEAK IT
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides By the inequities of Microsoft Windows and the tyranny of Bill Gates. Blessed is he who, in the name of open source and good will, Shepherds the newbie through the screens of blue, For he is trulely a computer scientist, and the finder of lost productivity. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger Those who spread virii and worms throughout my networks. And you will know my name is the Guru when I lay my code upon thee."

Ever notice that the "needs" of those in charge of the socialist systems always seem to include multiple gigantic palaces, extra vacation homes, special stores with superior goods, and chaufeurred limos. The needs of the rest of you can be satisified with an empty room in a big concrete apartment and a bus system, with the occasional shortage of paper and pens for schools across entire districts.
On the other hand, "from" the bigwigs' ability we seem to get a lot of sitting around in cushy office chairs, while the abilities of the masses seem to somehow happen to include expert abilities at mining gold north of the Arctic Circle.
Funny how that happens.
Penn State Strikes Deals with Napster, Budweiser
If I was a student at Penn State I'd be asking for a partial refund of my fees. How do you Penn students feel about your fees going to this?
Yeh, and I'm sure they'd refund them just like the refund fees for blind people that don't watch tv and fat people that don't use the rec. center and crippled people that can't use the pool.
Yeah, the taxpayers also help pay for Nittany Lions football (which not everyone watches)
Wow, things really have changed since I moved out of PA. A decade ago not having a Joe Paterno shrine in your dining room was just cause for deportation to New Jersey.
