...easily understand why the RIAA wants help from universities in facilitating its enforcement actions against students who download copyrighted music without paying for it. It is easier to litigate against change than to change with it. If the RIAA saw a better way to protect its existing business, it would not be threatening our students, forcing our librarians and administrators to be copyright police, and flooding our courts with lawsuits against relatively defenseless families without lawyers or ready means to pay.

...First weekend, will cover objects that will be on view only through the summer of 2007. The podcast medium itself has drawbacks as well. Because a visitor to the museum must already have the podcast on his or her iPod, visitors must anticipate their trip to the museum and download accordingly, requiring a degree of planning unusual among many student visitors.

While 20% of consumers have downloaded new ring tones, for example, less than 10% have done so with mobile games...
...That may be why Citibank, the number four retail bank in the U.S., chose to launch its application without partnering with a carrier. The downside of this strategy is that the onus will be on the user to download the application, and even once they do, the Citi Mobile icon will be hard to find since it will be buried inside menus on each phone. When Wachovia launches its mobile-banking service later this year, on the other hand, its icon will get prominent placement on AT&T branded phones...
