Napster Deal
11/07/2003 03:13 AMThis probably wasn't what administrators at Penn State were expecting
after working out the deal to let on-campus students
acces
s Napster music streams without charge to the students. Instead
of being happy, many Penn State students are
pisse
d off at administrators for wasting their money. Despite the Penn
State claims that the service is "free", clearly the university is
paying for the service, and those fees will be reflected in tuition -
or at least, they'll be withheld from something else on campus. The
students say they don't want to be
forced to pay money to a
recording industry they don't agree with, who is giving them something
of extremely limited value (no downloads, just a limited choice of
streams - and only if you happen to be on campus).

Napster was confirmed Thursday by an announcement posted on the

outlined by University President Graham Spanier at 02:15 p.m. Eastern
time, after Spanier's scheduled appearance at a technology conference
in Anaheim, California.

11/07/2003 02:05 AM During a panel presentation on peer-to-peer file
sharing at the Educause
conference this morning,
Graham Spanier , President of The
Pennsylvania State University , announced a deal with Napster that will give Penn State
students access to music for $.99 per song downloaded. A Penn State
press release outlines
the way in which the service is expected to work:
• Students living in residence halls at a
dozen Penn State campuses will be able to participate initially.
• Unlimited streaming of music files will be available from
Napster’s inventory of more than 500,000 songs.
• Tethered downloading is included at no additional charge.
This means a student can download and keep the music files on up to
three personal computers. These songs can be burned to CDs or
transferred to portable devices if purchased for 99 cents each.
Penn State plans to roll out a pilot of the program
beginning in January. The deal is being promoted as a way to provide
students with the ability to download music legally while addressing
issues of bandwidth overload.

01/18/2004 02:46 PM
On January 12, the University of Pennsylvania began
providing its on campus student body free access to Napster 2.0's subscription
music service through a campus-wide contract with Napster. The contract allows students to listen to
streaming audio or "tethered downloads" for free. (Tethered downloads
are downloaded music files that will only play as long as the user
maintains a subscription to Napster, or in this case, as long as the
student remains at Penn State.) Alternately, students can pay 99¢ a
track to burn songs to disk or transfer them to a mp3 player.
According to the
Chronicle of Higher Education (subscription required) other
schools are watching the experiment
closely to see if the availability of free legal music downloads will
reduce illegal file sharing on campus. As part of the contract,
Napster has provided local caching servers for about 90 percent of the
most requested songs which is expected to improve performance and
reduce network congestion. According to Penn State Live , almost
3000 students (of 17,000 eligible students) registered for the service
on the first day, streaming or downloading about 100,000 songs. No
network congestion was reported.

Penn State Does Deal To Provide Sort Of

11/05/2003 09:23 PMWell, it's a step, but it's not as big a deal as some are going to
make it out to be. Over at Penn State they've been
talking
about this idea for a while, but they've now
signed a deal with Roxio's Napster 2.0 to provide
"free" music streams to students on campus. They're really hyping up
the whole free bit, but I'm quite sure the music industry is still
getting paid from someone - and that someone is Penn State. So, while
it may appear free, the price will get added into tuition or other
fees. Meanwhile, the offering is nice, but it's not real file
sharing. It's not even downloads. They just allow streaming music
for what Napster happens to have in its library. If they want more,
they're out of luck. If they want to download or burn to a CD, they
have to pay. Of course, this doesn't exactly fit with the MPAA's
educational campaign of
"if you
didn't buy it, you stole it". If anything, this sort of thing
might confuse the message. That said, I still think it's good that
there's at least some recognition for alternative business models,
even if I'm not sure this is a particularly good one.

05/20/2004 04:00 PMPenn State University has a cozy relationship with the RIAA - and it
shows in a variety of policies they've put in place which seem
designed more to appease their RIAA friends than to encourage
education or a real analysis of issues. They were one of the first
universities to
kick
students off the university network when it was discovered they
had set up a local area system for exchanging files. Then, of course,
they put in place the somewhat useless (and
mostly
unwanted) plan to
take
student funds to pay Napster so that students can get streaming
music which they don't get to keep and which only works on campus.
Now, Ed Felten reports that the university has
forbidden
any student from operating any kind of server from a dorm.
Despite the fact that it seems clear that whoever came up with this
policy doesn't seem to know what a server is, Felten points out just
how terrible this is from an education standpoint. They're preventing
students from learning about important and useful technologies just
because there's a
chance that students may use a server to
infringe on copyrights. In other words the
risk of
infringement outweighs the benefits of education to the administration
at Penn State.

Penn Station's Wi-Fi
06/25/2004 12:01 PMA correspondent notes that Amtrak's waiting room at Penn Station has
AT&T Wireless's Wi-Fi active: He writes, the splashpage finally
arrived at the Amtrak waiting-room at Penn Station. After filling in
the personal info ( they have the nerve to ask for the last four
digits of your SS number!)... He was on a PDA and the page failed to
allow him to purchase a connection. A call to AT&T Wireless Wi-Fi
was a waste of time, the lady I talked to was clueless. The funny part
is that I got far enough into the process to receive an 'Thank you for
registering for the AT&T Wireless e-Wallet' e-mail. The
correspondent notes, There's a Starbucks at the other end of the
station (I have an account with them) and hopefully the McDonald's
also in the station will work again soon. And then Verizon which works
from the McDonald's on 7th Ave. if you sit close enough to the front
window....

Johnson is an provocative proponent of the
American Empire
theory, indeed. Here are excerpts from his
Blow Back: The Cost
And Consequences of American EmpireI heard Johnson
interviewed on Episode II,
War And Conflict In The Post-Cold War,
Post-9/11 Era of
The Whole Wide World
The Cold War and its central conflict - the physical and
ideological battles between the United States, the Soviet Union and
their proxy states - imposed a certain logic and consistency on the
world. Take that away and add the bloody wars in the Balkans, Africa
and the Middle East in the ‘90s as well as the terror attacks and
warnings of more recent times and you get a very confused picture of a
world at war. Is this breaking storm in Iraq about oil, democracy,
freedom, empire, culture, water, diamonds, modernizing Islam or nation
building in the Middle East? Some, one or all of these
things?It was an excellent program and well worth your
listen, either by RA now or mp3 later.
