College Demands RIAA Pay Up For Wasting Its Time 261

Posted by Zonk on Thursday March 22, 2007 @01:57PM from the me-next-me-next dept.

An anonymous reader writes "We've already seen the University of Wisconsin tell the RIAA to go away, but the University of Nebaska has gone one step further: it's asking the RIAA to pay up for wasting its time with the silly demand to push students into paying up. The spokesperson for the University also notes that since they constantly rotate IP addresses and have no need to hang onto that information for very long, they simply cannot help the RIAA. They have no clue who was attached to which IP address at the time the RIAA is complaining about."

Then maybe they will set a precedent such that I can sue coworkers who invite me to meetings as "required" that I don't have any reason to be at. That will make them thing twice when creating the invitee list.

Repeat after me..

Sucking the filling out of hostess fruit pies at seven eleven and then putting them back is not theft.

It'd vandalism.

Semantics are fun.

1. People know the actual terms of licenses and what Fair Use is.

2. Many many lawyers and soon-to-be lawyers looking forward to massive p0wnage of RIAA that will give them credit and make a name for them in future work in the law are studying at the universities.

3. Many faculty lawyers looking to publish papers to prove how good they are at p0wning RIAA - publish or perish!

4. Lots of grads willing to donate money to their alum funds to help p0wn RIAA.

5. It's just plain FUN!

A stab in the back is OK, but seeing the RIAA cleaved asunder with a battle-ax would be an absolute hoot!

Okay, I'm starting a pool. Who will the RIAA go after next? Place your bets.

I'm taking whales.
They can't go after wales. Do you know how hard it is to serve a subpoena in Welsh?

You try reading legalise with all the vowels stripped out.

Students still can (and do) have static IP addresses; now, however, you have to fill out a form to get one.

Fill that sucker out and there goes your plausible deniability.
