College Funding Bill Passes House, P2P Provision Intact

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Ars Technica is reporting that the College Opportunity and Affordability Act passed through the House today with a vote of 354-58 and the anti-P2P provision is intact. That provision would require universities to filter P2P and to offer legal alternatives. They are claiming now, though, that universities would not lose federal funding if they fail to do this. Of course, an amendment that would have clarified that was withdrawn immediately after it was offered."

Technically, they could say,

"Your alternative to illegal downloading is a ham sandwich. The plan is to have ham sandwiches be a mandatory part of the meal plan. "

and it would follow the letter of the law, if not the spirit.

There you go, every campus in the US. Where's my grant?
