Colleges and Universities provide connections to a public electronic network. They should not be responsible for what people do on that public electronic network. Should the government be held accountable for people who access public physical networks (e.g., highways) who happen to have an MP3 player with illegal downloads on it?

Why is the music business getting singled out? Let's go whole hog here. The colleges should also be responsible for stopping all crimes by students. Maybe we could outsource all that work to the Chinese government.

PS: Unless they are stealing the paper scores or the instruments, or at least the physical CD copies, there is no "theft" involved. It is copyright infringment, a very different offense.

PPS: The music business has still not proved that sharing of recorded music has resulted in loss of income. The decrease in unit sales corresponds the us boomers buying a CD copy of albums released on vinyl. Let them prove a loss based only on CD sales of material originally released on CD.

Why should the colleges not be burdened? They certainly have the technology to help in deterring illegal downloads. Obviously Daniel has lost any income to music theft.

I don't know the "back story" here (since it's not provided above), but if Congress is putting burdens on colleges (many of them publicly subsidized) to benefit the Music Biz, somebody has their priorities more twisted than their shorts.

So who wanted this provision in the Congressional world of compromise? Democrats or Republicans?
