The price of higher education has been going up at an alarming rate, far outpacing the rate of inflation. In my opinion, the prices at "public" (tax payer subsidized) universities should be pinned to the inflation rate.
Businesses often charge differing customers different prices for their products. If you don't want your customers exchanging this information, you just make it part of the contract.
I hadn't thought of this as supporting the RIAA. I'm a Penn State Grad Student at a satelite campus. I think they are considering offering this type of service to Grad Students for a fee. I guess I should tell them that I don't want it as I wouldn't want to support the RIAA. Then again, if it is just $3.00 a month, my son would sure enjoy having the ability to download music that he enjoys.
Hmm... The user interface doesn't let you open or close specific ports in the built-in XP fire wall. Or perhaps I'm missing something. I'm certain there are registry settings to block specific ports, but that isn't exactly the same thing.
I prefer symantec's definitions and explanation, from http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/docid/1999041209131106:
"Worms are programs that replicate themselves from system to system without the use of a host file. This is in contrast to viruses, which requires the spreading of an infected host file."
In interesting quote from that article: "Experts agree that Linux computers are not as susceptible for a number of reasons including clear separation of functions like email and applications so that hostile code cannot be run without significant user intervention;"
It seems to me that non-hostile code cannot be run without significant user intervention either.
In my opinion, you should use both a hardware firewall, and a software firewall, espcially on systems that may be moved, like laptops. The hardware firewall and software firewall provide differing features, which in combination result in greater security against intrusion, as well as locally installed mal-ware.
The company for which I work requires anything that ever connects to the internal network to have a personal fire wall installed.
We also require the installation of a service that installs various updates (Microsoft and others) after they have been approved by a team that installs and tests them.
We have around 36,000 employees world wide, and this virus hasn't affected us.

As soon as I received the subpoena I took it to my lawyer to decipher the legalese and determine what action was necessary.
Soo.. when a subpoena is served, do they read it to you, and are you obligated to understand it?... are you allowed to consult your lawyer before taking action?
In my opinion, if your intent is to protect the privacy of your users, then logging should be turned off in the first place.

> To burn to CD or MP3 player, you must purchase tracks separately
How could they possibly enforce this?
If it is possible to listen to the track on a PC, then the data is there and can be burned to a CD.
Or am I misunderstanding this. Are students unable to listen to the track until they pay the 99 cents for it?

Are you a business major?

So what stops the students from burning CDs from the "rented" music and not paying the 99 cents for each song? How would this be enforced?

Perhaps it has already been installed on those systems. Or... if you are running Windows 98, 98 SE, or ME, the correction is "Not Critical".

Intellectual property and real tangible property are different, and are governed by different principles.
