RIAA Afraid of Harvard

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-aren't-we-all dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "According to a report on p2pnet.net, the RIAA's latest anti-college round of "early settlement" letters targets 7 out of 8 Ivy League schools, but continues to give Harvard University a wide berth. This is perhaps the most astonishing display of cowardice exhibited to date by the multinational cartel of SONY BMG, Warner Bros. Records, EMI, and Vivendi/Universal (the "Big Four" record companies, which are rapidly becoming less "big"). The lesson to be drawn by other colleges and universities: "All bullies are cowards. Appeasement of bullies doesn't work. Standing up to bullies and fighting back has a much higher success rate.""

    "I'm getting pissed that popular sentiment on /. is becoming that Creationists are a bunch of evil, ignorant bastards who are out to wreck the public teaching of science."

    That's your right, but the Creationists who ARE evil, ignorant Christian Taliban are quite common and do trmendous damage. The rest by supporting Creationism form their power base like it or not.

    Creationism is not science, it is opposition to science, even if some of the Creationists are nice people.
