Crackdown on students aims to end pirating of music, films

Purdue University senior Daniel Clemans has downloaded more than 600 songs to his iPod.

He admits that only a fraction of those were obtained legally. Most students who download music or movie files from the Internet or among friends “aren’t even thinking about doing it illegally,” he said.

“They’re just thinking about getting free music.”

But circumstances are aligning that could force students to think before they pirate, both at the federal and university levels.

    “That could change as more students use software such as DC++ and Limewire which allow them to quickly share files on their iPods and peer-to-peer players.”

    that line makes me want to beat someone

    there will always be ways. like call home and tell them to g-mail a movie to you. i doubt univerites can combat email piracy at all
