NC State Stands Up to RIAA

Posted by kdawson on from the don't-mess-with-the-wolfpack dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The Technician Online at North Carolina State University reports that its Director of Student Legal Services, Pam Gerace, has advised students to remain anonymous, and has indicated her office's willingness to challenge the RIAA's subpoenas. What's more, the newspaper urges students to take Ms. Gerace up on her offer. The fighting spirit of Jimmy Valvano lives on."

    The site works for me... maybe it's because I'm an NCSU grad.

    ok, I take it back, not slashdotted, just v.slow.

    "They said it could be $750 per song. The letter said, though, that they could just pay $3,000, which would not be based on the number of songs." $3,000 == unlimited downloads.. hmm, not a bad deal... might be cheaper than 79 cents a track...

    See, that's the problem. What incites teenagers and young adults to be rebellious and makes them want to "Stick it to the Man"? Rock and Roll. or if you want to trace it back further, music in general. Jazz, Big Band, everything right back to the first cave-teen who banged two rocks together has been celebrating his/her independence from all things authority. Now, what is popular today? That's right, pop/psudo-rap/hiphop crap, produced and approved by...dun, dun, dun... THE RIAA. The Man wins. Until the teenagers and would-be activists start listening to anything other than the bullcrap produced, approved of, and shoved down their throats by the very corporation they should be fighting, Rock Is Dead.

    Maybe the little fish should enlist the help of the giant crabs to force the big fish to enable the little fish to get what they want or cut the big fish out of the picture all together and let the shrimps regain control of their output.

    I don't know, the whole thing is beginning to smell a little fishy to me.
