Politicos threaten schools over campus piracy | CNET News.com
Another telling quote from the campus filesharing hearings (admittedly found while scanning back through old news).
Feeney said[,] “Is it responsible for a Congress that wants to protect intellectual property rights to continue to fund network enhancements for universities if some of those enhancements are indirectly being used in fact to promote intellectual property theft?”
It’s surprising that, for all universities have done to build and expand network technology, that something like student filesharing could stand in the way of future progress.
