| The possible slippery slope effects still unknown But this paragraph pretty much raises questions as to why the hell they'd even bother:
quote:
Still, a representative from the House Education and Labor Committee said that the law does not require universities to police students, but rather to inform them of their campus policies and the legal implications of downloading and disseminating copyrighted materials. It asks that universities develop a plan for deterring file-sharing, but it does not mandate any specific program.
If this is the extent of it, wonder why the Congress bothered with yet another pointless mandate.
