RIAA Co-Opts More Universities

southpolesammy writes "The Register reports that six more US Universities and colleges have agreed to enter into protection schemes with the RIAA. In short, several institutions have signed deals with the RIAA's lapdog, the Napster music service, to 'goad these schools toward becoming music brokers'. The underlying threat of being sued by the RIAA if they don't pay them off is almost certainly the driving force behind their acceptance of this scheme. And of course, there's the ever-present gag order they'll probably enforce on these new universities as well. Great business model guys. Way to engender yourselves to your biggest customer base."

Article Blurb

[Erwos]

I found the article blurb to be obnoxious as hell. How about just showing us the link, briefly saying (in a non-biased way) what it says, and then letting _us_ make the decision on how to view it?

Don't editorialize in the blurb. If you have a fucking editorial, submit it to your local paper. I care about the news, not your political views.
