Napster gags university over RIAA's student tax

Quote:


	Ohio University has put up a survey site to see if students are willing to pay $3 per month for the Napster music service. The $3 figure is the first concrete number given by any school indicating how much Napster and its RIAA bully force are looking to muscle out of students. Ohio University believes it will need 5,000 students to pay the $3 fee to make Napster a break-even proposition for the school. Napster has demanded that Ohio University stay silent about the price before anyone catches wind of the cost.

Forgive if I have misunderstood something, but $3 a month to use Napster sounds like a good deal for unlimited music. If I have the choice to pay $3 a month to avoid a RIAA lawsuit I'd do it.

Hell, I'd pay $15.... probably more if I listened to more music.

My cousin goes to OU. I'm suprised he didn't tell me anything about it. I'll have to ask him about it.

3 bucks is an awesome deal. But I still hate supporting the RIAA.
