The vast majority of those arrested do not attend the university.
According to the Badger Herald: "A total of 448 arrests were made, with only 57 identified as UW students, a figure representing 12.8 percent of the total arrests."
Although it's definitely getting a bit late now, you should check with local businesses with offices in your town for any summer student jobs (not internships, just office type jobs).
I had a job once that wasn't an internship, my job description just had me doing clerk type work like data entry, filing, etc. However, after I'd been there for a while and automated some of my jobs via macros and helped my coworkers with some basic SQL queries, my boss realized some potential and let me do more advanced programming work.
The pay wasn't the best that summer (although it wasn't bad), and the next summer I got a real internship at the same company because of the experience I gained the previous summer, all when the job description was basic clerk work.
It was my understanding (IANAL) that whoever made the recording owned the copyright to that recording. For example, the photographer I paid to take my high school senior pictures owns the copyright to those pictures, even though they are pictures of me.
By the same logic, the people who actually taped the shows should own the copyright to those recordings. Since the record companies do not own the copyright to the recordings, the shouldn't have any legal right to demand that any sites like easytree shut down.
Now, the legality of actually taping the shows could possibly be called into question, but the music industry would have to take that up with the tapers themselves, not the sites distributing the recordings, since the distribution sites aren't actually breaking copyright laws.
Just last week, my younger brother in middle school told me about an incident where the school prohibited wearing clothing with American flags on it on May 5th for Cinco de Mayo, with the potential punishment being suspension.
I couldn't believe that the administration thought the American flag would be offensive. I plan on calling the school and complaining about this, and would like some advice on what to say.
I was planning on bringing up the Tinker v. Des Moines Supreme Court Case. Can anyone else give me some advice?
Some of the comments here refer to why he would hack into a system to store his movies when disk space is so cheap. The answer is speed. NASA most likely has a fast connection to the internet. This guy was part of a FXP group, so what happened was that when a new movie was released, he would FXP the movie from a distro server to this NASA ftp, and then give other people in his group the login to the NASA ftp. Other s would do the same for him, so they all got new movies without all of them leeching off the original distro servers.
Key your channel, make it hidden, make it invite only with a bot set up to invite people, and run it on a secure network like Linknet using SSL to connect.
The development team for this tool looked at creating a database app instead of overhauling the spreadsheet app, and also looked at rewriting everything from scratch in.NET and putting it on the corporate intranet. However, once the pros and cons of all three approaches were considered, the spreadsheet was the most practical way to go. This left us with problems like the pivot tables updating.
I worked on a project this summer where pivot tables were used to tally up how many person hours of specified job types were needed for a project. The problem was that it was sorted by person hours per month up to 15 years, and the starting year could be changed. When the year was changed, the tables didn't update correctly. I ended up having to use a lot of vba code to rebuild the tables from scratch every time the year changed. This was using Excel 2000. Does the book address issues like this one? Did anyone else ever have a problem like this one?
If the MPAA is allowed on Internet2, where else will they want access to? Your college's intranet? Your corporate network? ISP's LAN networks? There are many other fast network connections where piracy could take place.
"I believe there are more people like me out there who want to listen to their music, without feeling guilty."
It's easy, just don't feel guilty about downloading music. The music companies are screwing over consumers and artists alike, and have been for years. Download the music you like, and support the artists more directly by going to see concerts when they are in town, buying T-Shirts, etc.
I recommend ripping all the DVD's to your hard drive, then mounting whatever movie you want with a virtual DVDRom like this one:
Daemon Tools
You get to keep all your menus, extras, etc with no loss of video quality. Play them with PowerDVD or WinDVD and use a TV out from the computer to your plasma screen.
Use a good standard measurement that everyone knows, and show how quickly you can transfer it.

You care a lot if you're capturing a lot of lightly compressed video. That requires a fairly quick drive, I have noticed more dropped frames using Vdub on my 5400 rpm drive than my 7200 drive.

I think that a bigger threat to the RIAA is LEGAL internet distribution, because they cannot interfere with it at all. I recently discovered the Open Source, cross platform project iRate Radio, a service that distributes free songs that the Artists want distributed.
Check it out at The iRate Homepage and programmers, please contribute to make it better! Once people discover independent music, they are much less likely to go back.

If you asked me a week ago, I would have agreed unconditionally. However, the one thing tempting me that I recently found out is that Adobe Premiere Pro v7.0 for XP ONLY works on Windows XP. Since I'm big into video editing and compositing, I was really looking forward to being able to use Premiere Pro. Now I'm seriously considering upgrading.
If I recall correctly, it was.07 cents per song, per listener, so you're at $0.336 per listener per day, which can add up very quickly with enough listeners.

I won't be impressed until they offer a googol bytes (1 with 100 zeroes). Otherwise it's false advertising.
Yeah, we couldn't have any casinos run by Indians...
For the lazy: It appears you are trying to type a letter. Would you like me to help? I'm an annoying animated piece of tin. Want me to get bent?
I just set up a windows machine and connected it to my broadband internet connection.
Within the hour I had a fully functional email server running on it, along with VNC capabilities, and was using my bandwith to the fullest.
Of course, I don't remember installing any of it...

You're thinking of WASTE. The grandparent poster was talking about WinAMP.
Thanks for this! Really needed a laugh today. Instant friends list.
Mod parent up! I need some faster download speeds :)
Exactly. Kind of like how they copy protected music CDs and now we don't have any music piracy anymore.
