Stanford To Charge Reconnect Fee For DMCA Notices

theantipop writes "Stanford didn't like appearing on the MPAA's list of 25 worst offenders. Last week the university issued notice of a new policy in which students are charged a reconnection fee, ranging from $100 to $1000, if they fail to respond quickly enough to a DMCA complaint. The policy is to take effect September 1 this year. As a show of 'good faith' they are graciously allowing all students to start at the $100 fee level for subsequent notices."

I just don't believe we need that many "Media Studies" graduates, lawyers or people doing "Klingon Language" degrees.

Over here in the UK, I was destined to go to university until there was a family tragedy and I went straight out to work instead. I'm 45 years old now, a well paid IT & security consultant and totally convinced that work experience was far more beneficial to me than a degree.

The graduates I see coming into this field these days only *THINK* they know everything - in reality, they know very little...
