...Harvard laundry account, I was informed that the company receives 50 percent of all laundry revenues. Of the remaining 50 percent, the House Committees receive about half, leaving the rest to the water and electricity costs of the College. If these costs are already covered by the "Student Services Fee" as Baer asserts, the Masters and Deans should increase the percentage of revenues the cash-strapped House Committees receive from the laundry machines...
...That strategy helps explain why Bertelsmann is teaming with Napster, angering other established record companies that have taken the Internet service to court for copyright infringement. While details haven't been finalized, Bertelsmann is close to announcing a technical solution that will allow Napster to charge a monthly subscription fee in exchange for legal access to record company music. Similar solutions will have to be worked out for content transferred to set-top boxes and mobile phones, as well.

Thus, to borrow the words of one administrator, Harvard is essentially "double dipping," charging students for the energy...
...NAPSTER? When Bertelsmann boss Thomas Middelhoff announced that the free music service would start charging a subscription fee by summer, a lot of people were surprised--including Napster CEO Hank Barry. "We haven't decided on a time schedule at all," Barry told Reuters. So what's holding it up? Before Napster can charge for downloads, it has to cut licensing-fee deals with most of the record companies (not just sugar daddy Bertelsmann), many of which are still suing Napster for "pirating" their music. As long as the labels prefer punitive damages to a piece...
