RIAA Targets New Colleges, Still Avoids Harvard
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "Billboard reports that the RIAA has filed its eighth round of 'early settlement' letters to twenty-two colleges. Continuing its practice of avoiding Harvard, the RIAA's new round does not include any letters to that institution, where certain law professors have counseled resistance to the RIAA and told the RIAA to 'take a hike'. The unlucky institutions on the receiving end of the 403 new letters include Arizona State University (35 pre-litigation settlement letters), Carnegie Mellon University (13), Cornell University (19), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (30), Michigan State University (16), North Dakota State University (17), Purdue University — West Lafayette and Calumet campuses (49), University of California — Santa Barbara (13), University of Connecticut (17), University of Maryland — College Park (23), University of Massachusetts — Amherst and Boston campuses (52), University of Nebraska — Lincoln (13), University of Pennsylvania (31), University of Pittsburgh (14), University of Wisconsin — Eau Claire, Madison, Milwaukee, Stevens Point, Stout and Whitewater campuses (62)."
insight through the mind
If The RIAA were an ice cream flavor, they'd be pralines and dick.
What if Tetris was invented by Nazis?
...that the RIAA is run by Harvard grads.
Figures, corrupt lawyers and all...
Harvard professors receive 22 requests for counsel about 403 RIAA letters ...
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
A person can't run a honeypot and learn about networking and security anymore?

Only if you are a media company.
God, I love this place. It is the best city in the northeast. Seriously, no one fucks with us.
Following a shipwreck a lawyer, priest, and newspaper reporter were stuck in a raft close to shore, but in waters clearly infested by sharks. After many hours of miserable huddling the lawyer screamed "I can't take it any more!", dove into the water and swam towards shore. The others shouted protests, but to everyone's surprise the sharks parted and let the man swim safely to land.
"It's a miracle!" exclaimed the priest.
"No... professional courtesy", explained the journalist.
And that also explains why the RIAA isn't going after the Harvard kids.
For your own sake, don't listen to it. This applies regardless of the RIAA's tactics.

I would advise against it. 4 of 5 backup singers say that "that shit is B-A-N-A-N-A-S."
