Sigh

Well making available and sharing are two different beasts. However, as I said before, the RIAA can send someone to download the file and then claim it's now been shared. I wouldn't put that past them either which way. Anyhow, maybe these people should try other methods outside of p2p. Bittorent? Newsgroups?.... just some suggestions.

Yawn... students who want unfettered access to P2P are always welcome to move off-campus and get a broadband provider that won't quiz them.

Don't students actually study anymore?

Back in the last millennium when I was an undergrad I must have spent just about all my non-class time working or studying. I guess I just missed out on all the fun.

O cut your usual crap PNH. Seriously, colleges have always been about 75 percent study and 25 percent party or leisure. Since colleges have been around college kids have gotten in to trouble for one thing or another. In the 60s it was protests and now in the 2000+ its p2p. I'm not justifying it, but nor is it some shocking revelation where we all must pretend to gasp. It happens, face it. The RIAA isn't even proving their case by these letters. However, most people tend not to fight them due to legal costs. What's to say these affected computers weren't part of a net of hacked drones? While I doubt that to be the case, it's still possible. Botnets and hacked computers wreak havoc on many ISPS. There's nothing to say that said computer isn't hacked and used as someone else's storage and proxy to share said files. Either way, get off the kick bud. I don't even know why I bother replying to you, as rarely do your comments add ANY BIT of relevance to ANY conversation on dslreports.

Wow... between being in a real major, working a couple of part time jobs, and studying, I had no life outside of school. In fact, I work far less now than I ever did as an undergrad.

I dunno, I exited the college track with a 3.2 GPA in my undergrad major and a 3.8 in my grad school MS degree.
I had a Heck of a Time partying throughout.
Granted, my first couple semesters weren't so hot, way too much partyin' and not enough studying. But I eventually figured out the balance, even with a job (P/T) thrown in the mix.

I finished with a 3.2 as well for my undergrad degree... but I had a hard time earning it. If I hadn't studied as much as I did... I would have flunked out. As for grad school, I slacked... I pulled a 3.1, which of course is just above barely passing

Guys, don't get in so deep, this was just a fun sidetrack.
So if you slacked...what did you do as slack? Sleep? Hike? Read romance novels? Collect belly-button lint?

Since the thread has already taken a nasty turn, I'm not going to get into challenging credentials. I'm very confident in saying that while my undergrad may not have been super-challenging, the grad program was FAR from cake (stale crackers and water at best...so had to break for the beer often!).
It's all balance.

LOL Kool me. I never lived on campus but I found time to do stupid things in my spare time with friends. I ended my grad with approx 3.2 as well. It was all that wonderful thing called a balance, as you put it. The thing that sucked for me was I lived 30 miles away from my school and did the commute daily. Therefore, I really couldn't party on campus. It'd been quite hard to get back =P for such a long drive being screwed. Therefore, I made it up with friends where I lived LOL. Either way, unlike PNH who absolutely must be the "SPOCK" of all humanity (without the logic, just the seriousness), I found time to have fun. Hey, I even passed too and never failed a class. In all the time I was in college, I only dropped one class (didn't need it) and got a pity pass on another. Yet, I never failed. So yes PNH, people can have lives. Hey get this, I even got a 4.0 on my Masters. So I guess you just suck at balancing things would be the moral of this story PNH. Maybe you should invest in time management classes =P.

Likewise, those same teachers educated you with the skills that you possess to be employed. So those who can teach, and those who wish to learn seek their advice. That'd be more accurate.

Actually, my question is grammatically correct. Furthermore, even if I had made a grammatically incorrect statement by ending the above with a period instead of a question mark, it would not be a fragment.

Re: BYOI

Sigh. First, I referred to the fact you STARTED a sentence with the word AND. And = Conjunction. Therefore, you created a sentence fragment. You're question is as follow: And you are a teacher? Notice, the word and is a conjunction and links two sentences together. What are you linking here? Please elaborate. It has nothing to do with ending that given sentence with a period. So FAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL would be your word of week. Next time, don't criticize others if you can't even do so properly. As for the word very, I am aware of it. However, that word would also fit my sentence. Vary in terms of new aspects is fine. Either way, I have nothing to prove since you fail at judging others. Once again, PNH comes out missing.

Yawn. A sentence fragment is something which cannot stand on its own as a sentence. My original question could, so hence, it is not a fragment.

You already stated that English wasn't your best subject, so I understand that you may not be able to recognize a properly formed English question.

A) English might not be my best topic but nor is it yours. Go google the word conjunction. Conjunction junction what's your function. Have you ever heard of that phrase? I guess school house rock didn't teach you anything. A conjunction is meant to link two sentences together. You can't get yourself of this one. You failed miserably. The FAILLLLLLLL was meant for emphasis. Obviously, you noticed that and realized it applied to your lame attempt at criticizing others. Back to the topic, you can thank your teachers for your ability to read and write. Not to mention, you can thank them for the job you have or are working towards. If it weren't for them, you would be asking if customers would want big or small fries with that order.

Re: BYOI

Once again, you started a SENTENCE with a conjunction. There we have it, PNH can't even grasp English, but he criticizes others.

"But you haven't proved that my question is grammatically incorrect." The word but is a conjunction and IT LINKS two sentences or thoughts together.

Seriously PNH, don't thank anyone for your own stupidity. You're about as lame as it gets here bud. I'm done with this conversation. It's proven time and time again, your basis and delusional tendencies far outweigh arguing with. No wonder you joined the military, you were far too inept to handle the real world so you had to let others dictate your life. This shouldn't be construed in the sense that people who join the military are dumb. However, some like yourself have no other choice, when mother nature gave you nothing else to work from. Obviously, it should be noted all conversations with you go off track and focus on the mundane. At which point, you fail miserably at trying to hash that out, when you make the same mistakes.

LOL..

NJIT is probably more along the lines of 95% study and 5% leisure (usually World of Warcraft). I can't recall any good parties taking place here... There is a 15:1 male to female ratio and if there are any females, they are probably Muslims with the cloth over their heads. Good thing is that this school is literally right across the street from Rutgers - Newark, which is completely opposite when it comes to study / party and girls per guy.

Re: BYOI

You're looking at the wrong school. This is the University formerly known as UMR (though the guy/girl ratio is a little better then what yours was - 10:1). I graduated from there 2 years ago and you really don't understand the need to study. I played WoW for about 80% of the time and studied about 5% and still had just under an A- avg. This is an engineering school with a ton of nerds - of course they're going to be downloading. I'd assume they just wised up to downloading internally from servers and sharers we had instead of going externally to be caught - faster and no RIAA police. The other thing to realize is that it takes 5 min to queue up 20 songs to DL and you listen to music WHILE studying or gaming or whatever.

If you go to all of your classes and pay attention, studying isn't really that time consuming... I think more time is spent working on projects and homework. How much time does it take to load up a P2P client and let it download while you're working anyway?

Just Like Traffic School

The school gets to charge $$$$$$ for the class and gets a degree of immunity in the process from the diaRIAA, the student takes the class and learns enough to know to transfer files to avoid prosecution and then there you have it. Win-Win for everyone. It shuts up the diaRIAA and gets them off the school's back.

Test answers versus real life actions

Wouldn't the students merely give the test answers that they thought the University Administration would want? For example, if the question was "Should you download a movie from a P2P network that was recorded by a movie goer's camcorder: (A) Yes (B) No." The student would answer (B) and then use their P2P time to download a camcorder recorded movie.

This kind of reminds me of that essay I wrote for a Skeptics society when I was a kid. I did a survey to see how people's beliefs in supernatural phenomenon changed as they aged. I made sure that my conclusions were in line with what a skeptics society would believe (that people believed less in the supernatural as they matured). I wound up winning honorable mention in the contest and won $25.

Just because the students answer the questions one way doesn't mean that they'll believe the answers that they are giving.

sure i wasnt anywhere near college age in the 80s when the mix tape was big but i knew they existed. im thinking today with devices like the iPod there must be an easy way to mimic the mix tape and not leave the same trail as P2P. and i doubt campus police setup stings to stop physical mix media swapping.

It would take 60 hours to cover all copyright bologni.

I do not think 6 hours will hack it. 60 hours are more like it if all of the copyright rules are discussed. For example does the course cover copyright laws that were set up just to set different fees for playing the same copyrighted material under different circumstances:
1) If you connect a tuner to a PA system in your office and play copyrighted music through the PA system you have to pay a licensing fee.
2) If you set up individual radios in you office and tune to the same station you do not have to pay a licensing fee.
Why? It is legal to play copyrighted material through a reproduction devices internal speakers without paying a fee. If one plays copyrighted material through a reproduction device connected to a PA system it is considered rebroadcasting and requires a fee be paid to the copyright control agency.
3) Playing music that you have purchased through a music on hold circuit connected to a telephone system requires a licensing fee be paid to copyright control because it is considered rebroadcasting.
4) If your sing copyrighted material around a campfire you have to pay a licensing fee.
In 1996 ASCAP sent a demand letter to the Girl Scouts of America demanding that they pay substantial fees because ASCAP considers such singing a performance of the music in question even if there is no audience.
If all of the fine details of copyright law were presented students would have to be an anti laugh drug to prevent them from laughing themselves to death.
