U.S. Congress: university funding cut if students share music via P2P

The U.S. Congress passed a bill last week which would tie government funding universities receive to how well they restrict file-sharing among students.

In short the amendment to the budged titled CAMPUS-BASED DIGITAL THEFT PREVENTION requires that 25 universities that receive the most of alleged infringement notices (most likely from the RIAA) have to provide evidence of having clear policies on downloading of copyrighted content and that student are aware of them; change their file-sharing policies if necessary; and implement “a technology-based deterrent” to prevent the P2P use among students – otherwise the university funding can be cut.
