Tech: At least 20 US universities offer free or cheap online music to their students. Rhapsody has most of these schools, but Duke made a deal to distribute iPods to 1800 students, most of whom are incoming freshman. Duke upperclassmen are unhappy that they can’t get an iPod. Other students compain that the $500K in funds could have paid for something else, like student financial aid or better campus security. Schools usually tack on a student fee to cover the download service. The university lawyers see this as a way to keep the RIAA from suing the university and its students.
