I know that there are schemes put in place where a bunch of students pitch in a little money to get a TV and buy a TV capture card. It sits in one of the dorms and someone edits out the commercials of captured requested shows then burns the shows on CDs. I can see many students having off-campus sources to grab requested stuff then there being the occasional 'HDD Party' to trade the latest stuff. I've heard that there were iPod parties and people walking out with thousands of new songs they never heard of before. So in the end these laws will mean diddly squat because the students will adapt even if they manage to make encrypted P2P impossible.

So yeah it's still going to be happening no matter what. I’ve heard of LAN filesharing parties going on. So yeah it’s still going to be happening no matter what.
