College Demands RIAA Pay Up For Wasting Its Time
An anonymous reader writes "We've already seen the University of Wisconsin tell the RIAA to go away, but the University of Nebaska has gone one step further: it's asking the RIAA to pay up for wasting its time with the silly demand to push students into paying up. The spokesperson for the University also notes that since they constantly rotate IP addresses and have no need to hang onto that information for very long, they simply cannot help the RIAA. They have no clue who was attached to which IP address at the time the RIAA is complaining about."
For wasting my time with all these frivolous lawsuits I have to read about...
Welcome to RIAADot ...
News for lawyers, trials that matters
Don't you know it is now both immoral and criminal to think beyond the next quarterly report?
Here are the next topics if you can't wait for them ...

Then maybe they will set a precedent such that I can sue coworkers who invite me to meetings as "required" that I don't have any reason to be at. That will make them thing twice when creating the invitee list.
I think y'all oughta introduce some of those mafiaa lawyers to your livestock ... "squeal like a pig".
Repeat after me..
Sucking the filling out of hostess fruit pies at seven eleven and then putting them back is not theft.
It'd vandalism.
Semantics are fun.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
This works just as well
It's like sex, except I'm having it!
1. People know the actual terms of licenses and what Fair Use is.
2. Many many lawyers and soon-to-be lawyers looking forward to massive p0wnage of RIAA that will give them credit and make a name for them in future work in the law are studying at the universities.
3. Many faculty lawyers looking to publish papers to prove how good they are at p0wning RIAA - publish or perish!
4. Lots of grads willing to donate money to their alum funds to help p0wn RIAA.
5. It's just plain FUN!

Ugh... I just tried to mod you "obvious".
When I moused over your link I read hitler=riaa [http://yro.slashdot.org/firehose.pl?fhfilter=riaa ]
ha! I apologize for not including the sheet music to accompany the lyrics.
A stab in the back is OK, but seeing the RIAA cleaved asunder with a battle-ax would be an absolute hoot!

You try reading legalise with all the vowels stripped out.
Erotic is when you use a feather. Exotic is when you use the whole chicken.
Students still can (and do) have static IP addresses; now, however, you have to fill out a form to get one.
Fill that sucker out and there goes your plausible deniability.
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
