Protect Harvard from the RIAA
,----[ Quote ]
| One can easily understand why the RIAA wants help from
| universities in facilitating its enforcement actions against
| students who download copyrighted music without paying for it.
| It is easier to litigate against change than to change with it.
| If the RIAA saw a better way to protect its existing business,
| it would not be threatening our students, forcing our librarians
| and administrators to be copyright police, and flooding our
| courts with lawsuits against relatively defenseless families
| without lawyers or ready means to pay. We can even understand
| the attraction of using lawsuits to shore up an aging business
| model rather than engaging with disruptive technologies and the
| risks that new business models entail.
