And George W Bush declared “mission accomplished” from an aircraft carrier and we all know how true that was …. Ditto this pompous blow hard!

It seems that this Mr. Bible is running a nazi concentration camp instead of a university.

Anyone else thinking this may just be an attempt at appeasing the record industry without doing a damn thing.

Presiden of school “oh ya we blocked all illegal file sharing (kazaa) we no longer see any traffic from the networks”.
Riaa “well thank you for your cooperation.”
President of school ” Well as we have everything under control here I see no reason for you to hang around”
Riaa ” No no reason at all bye now”
President “jackass!”

That is one of the outcomes that I see playing in my head.

mountain_rage: Possible.
Another possibility would be that the reports of “much less notices of illegal file sharing detection” are just pulled out of RIAAs ass.
RIAA: “Yeah well how about you monitor all your students traffic? We wanna catch those ‘geeks and hackers’ who try to outsmart us.”
Brice Bible: “Uhhhhh…you know some of our students could trick that system…well I’ll see what we can do.”

—2 weeks later—
RIAA (to self): “What the fuck. Nothing happened. Damn geeks.”
RIAA: “Yeah alright we got the bastards! We took ‘em out!”
RIAA (to self): “Phew.”
