This from my morning newspaper:
In an apparent campus first aimed at undercutting the file-swapping craze, Penn State University will offer students free digital music listening and limited downloading from the relauncehd Napster service, music industry sources said yesterday.
However, if students want to keep a song or burn it to a CD they will need to pay.
Ian Rosenberger, president of the Undergraduate Student Government said, "There's kind of an all-encompasing effect that some of the illegal services don't have that the students really liked."
Rosenberger said students will be able to stream music at no cost. They will also be able to download a song and move it to a digital music player for a brief period of time for free, he said. Students who want to download the song permanently or burn it to a CD, will have to pay a "small fee," he said.
University officials were expected to provide details of the deal today. |
