Re: Privacy concerns for the paranoid only
said by swhx7  :...The purpose seems to be to set up a situation where if the schools install the spyware, the MPAA can spew fantasy-based number-monkeying "piracy" propaganda - and if the schools refuse, the MPAA will depict them as protectors of pirates... What's incredibly laughable about this is that the savvy students (I anticipate there will be many) will regard the acceptance of this as a poorly thought-out reaction on the part of their school's administration. For those students heading to college for their freshman year, this type of 'campus policing' could be a detraction from picking a school to go to in the first place. It would have turned me away, knowing that a school had kow-towed to any entertainment corporation for non-educational purposes. "Protectors of Pirates" indeed--kind of like calling certain forefathers "Tax Pirates".  |
