Re: More colleges should do this

If true, i'm assuming that they used the RIAA as a scapegoat of sorts to stop people from screaming at them. Making a problem somebody else's problem is a better excuse than "we don't have the money for your downloading habits" I think.

The RIAA may have just given them the excuse they needed to keep their network costs from spiraling ever higher.
.
I don't see where the uni would need an excuse, it's their network. If bandwidth per application exceeds normalcy and average, they can kill it simply due to burden cost. It's their call on their network.
