...consumer, these deals are hard to beat. About two months ago, I bought a DVD that had the first half of the current season of 24 on it. Twelve one-hour episodes. You can download each on iTunes for $1.99 a piece. I paid five RMB - again, about 60 cents - for all of them...

The RIAA also sends pre-litigation notices—warning students of an impending lawsuit—to students that the organization believes have downloaded music illegally. No Harvard student has received such a notice this academic year, according to Engebretsen. Harvard’s current policy states that if a student receives two notices, his or her network privileges are revoked, Levine said. He added that cases where students had to have network privileges...
