Judge backs labels' MP3 search

An Australian judge thinks it might be a good idea for music companies to begin examining the contents of files on university computers to ensure that they do not contain copyright music. The universities, to their credit, objected, arguing that "the method proposed by Mr Thackray would reveal a great deal of extraneous information , some of which may be privileged or subject to confidentiality obligations." I think they should respond tit-for-tat and see how the labels respond: to give students the right to sift through record company computer files looking for any evidence of collusion, price fixing, or other illegal behaviour.
