Penn State Students to Get Free Music From Napster

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the all-in-the-groove dept.

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.

    how is it possible that I, someone who doesn't subscribe, gets such an early post?

    Are there no subscriptors to speak of?

    My point is: if you're going to bitch about something, bitch about something that actually costs you money. Like PSU football, that costs PA taxpayers way more than Napster ever will.

    This story isn't about PSU football, so complaining about that would be off-topic.

    Then you shouldn't be bitching at all.

    Huh? I can't complain about one thing that's on topic, without complaining about something that's off topic? If you say so...
