"We deeply regret that in view of his record we have had to fire the manager of our baseball team." Yup, sometimes the vote of confidence lasts exactly one day. As in this case. A day after the RIAA won the right to force Verizon to release customer names, but said it wouldn't impose the same requirement on universities, we see 175 specific students instructed by Indiana University (IU) to delete music and movie files from their computers. This after the university received word from the RIAA and the Motion Picture Association of America that users of IU's network were illegally distributing copyrighted material. It would be nice to see the universities stand with the students in this ongoing debate, but that was probably too much to expect.
