RIAA Says No Mystery In Rash of College Complaints
Doug Lederman writes "As colleges receive exploding numbers of complaints from recording companies about alleged illegal downloading of music files, theories abound about whether the industry is changing its criteria, aggressively targeting users who merely make downloaded music available to others rather than actual infringers. But after weeks of silence, the president of the RIAA says No: Better technology, he asserts, is merely resulting in better enforcement."

...is that the subject of the post isn't in the subject line. (By the way, sorry about the tone of the following rant, but your message caught my eye while I was listening to a phone conference, which does bad things to my impulse control.) I hate how the slashdot editors put the link on anything other than the part of the sentence that says what the link is to. Makes it very hard to tell, visually, which link to click to get to the actual article being referred to. I think that weird mindset carries over to composing of subject lines, like yours, that don't say what the subject is, leaving that to the body of your post. If what's interesting is that the number of false positives has gone way up, then, just maybe, something about false positives could be mentioned in the subject line, what with that being the actual subject of the post. One assumes that it's interesting, or you wouldn't have posted it, so telling me, in the subject line, that the post is about what's interesting is like telling me that you really had a reason for posting. I knew that already, from your having posted, leaving the subject line completely free of actual, additional information.
