The pair created a system that lets MIT students listen for free to 3.500 CDs through the schools cable television system, according to an article on CNN.com on Oct. 27. The two students said the system abides by copyright laws.

Clark. The rockers, who perform such 70s anthems as Hotel California, grilled the retired four-stgeneral and newly minted presidential candidate about his politics, and they liked what they heard so much that they agreed to headline a benefit concert Sunday at Mortons, the swank locale of the annual Vanity Fair party.

Vinyl records and radio stations would of be analog examples transmissions of music. Levy said the MIT students idea may not be kosher under current copyright laws. He said it depends on what type of licensing agreement the university has with recording industry companies. It brings up a lot of issues. Levy said. What type of license a school has is one.

SLUJ's Lionel Ciiady, associate professor of communication and media law professor, said Winstein and Mandel may still face problems with the recoiding industry. It looks like on the surface theyve found a loophole, but the RIAA will probably be visiting these two, Grady said. Levy said the reason the Recording Industry Association of America is going after of digital music so much is because the RIAA maintains that people can create an exact copy of a digital lecording, whereas with an analog recording they cant.

With Arnold Schwarzenegger recently elected to the governors seat, meanwhile, Republicans are emerging in this famously liberal community. So far, theyve scooped up a third of Hollywood dollars. And President Bush has raised the most money of any candidate, gamering $514,675 from people in the entertainment industry as of Sept. 30, according to research by the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan group that tracks campaign contributions. Former Gov. Howard Dean of Vermont is close behind, with $513,846, coming from a range of celebrities, such as Paul Newman, Susan Sarandon, and Mel Brooks. Sen. John F. Kerry of Massachusetts has picked up donations from Jerry Seinfeld and Bette Midler, while U.S. Rep. Richard A. Gephardt of Missouri has gained the financial backing of Barry Diller, Friends Marta Kauffman and Chevy Chase. Campaign records do not yet reflect the impact of Clark, who jumped into the race in But among those quickly coming to his aide were Norman Lear and his wife, Lyn Davis Lear. The Lears spokesman h, said they immediately woiked the phones and raised $200,000 for the candidate.

(Danner) -- Continued from Front Page The option that most people pick has the least security, but they pick that because it is the easiest to use, he said. The other two options require more sgtup and include terms, he said. Wireless can be secure, but it takes a little effort to do it, he said. The availability of wireless and wired access is slow to be setup on campus because of a lack of funds, Carpenter said. We had a little bit of extra money last year from another project that didnt use it all, so we took that and tried to put it into some network upgrades, he said. The wireless network is being tested in the Electronic Learning Center. People have been using it, Carpenter said. But we didnt want to advertise it because while were testing, we take it up and down and change things. Wireless access will be more permanent in the ELC closer to Thanksgiving, he said. Security measures are being taken to make sure the network is only available to students, faculty and staff, he said.

When an analog recording is copied, it loses some of its information, kind of like making a copy of a copy of a paper. Levy said. After a while the quality of the words on the paper start to distort. Winstein and Mandel said they plan to share the technology with other schools, according to the CNN.com article. In the article, the pair said schools can operate the system for a few thousand dollars each year, a small price to pay for heading off lawsuits like those the recording industry filed against hundreds of alleged illegal Jon Smith by appointment only 1 15 N.

The semester fee pays for the batteries, and a $1 fee is charged if the calculators are returned late, she said. We know that these laptops will work that way, too, Graff said. The computers will be great for small group studies because students can check them out and take them to study rooms where they can be loud and use white boards while having access to a computer, she said. The policy for the laptops has not been set up yet because they are not expected to be available until next semester, she said. I dont know how were going to do it, Graff said. The network will be campuswide someday, but the focus now is on areas where students spend the most time. If people have suggestions, wed like to hear'it, Carpenter said. We dont know where to move next. Anyone with ideas about where the network should be can send ideas to her his or at us, not you, he said. Chris Bigelow, an editor for The Sugar Beet, said he came up with the idea to start a print edition because the staff is running out of resources and gumption. We can no longer publish the site as often or as well as in the past, he said. Were also experimenting to see if theres a paying market for our brand of alternative Mormon entertainment. He said the Web site will primarily serve as a portal for the print edition. Karl Stevens, SUU coordinator of accounting and marketing for carpentersuu.edu.

The bulk of the money is coming from the Eagles concert. Dean and Clark have evoked certain passions in Hollywood for their outsider status and critiques of the war in Iraq. And lately, the who has been meeting with general, Hollywood moguls like Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg, has sparked interest. The war is an enormous issue here, said Dan Adler, a Creative Artists Agency capitalist and Clark supporter. In the case of most of the beltway candidates (Gephardt, Kerry, Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina and Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut), they voted for the war. There are a number of us who have felt very passionately since before the war that its a mistake. Still, money isnt exactly flowing out of Hollywood these days. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the entertainment industry ranked as No. 7 among the most generous industries in the 2000 election. But it has dropped to No. 10 in the 2004 cycle, edged out by the lobbyists, the insurance industry and commercial banks. watched other schools to see what they had done and saw some of their mistakes, Carpenter said. Were making great efforts to restrict the best we can but still make it easy enough to use that people wont be upset with the setup. Some people on campus have set up their own wireless networks, but those will be tracked down and turned off, Carpenter said. There is too great of a risk for interference, he said. Were getting the tools to locate those and automatically shut them down. Other problems include the fiequency of some cordless phones destroying the network. We have two (cordless phones) on this floor, Carpenter said. Anytime we use them, the network dies. The Academic Computer Users Committee is going to buy some laptop computers for the Library that students can check out and use, Graff said. They will already be adapted for the wireless, she said. Some days in the lobby, you cant get a computer. If you had one of these, you could just check it out and bring il up to the second or third floor.
