Are swappers scared of the RIAA?
p. A “C|Net Article”:http://news.com.com/2100-10273-5066632.html?tag=fdtop discusses a “NPD”:http://www.npd.com/ survey that concludes that since the “RIAA”:http://www.riaa.com” began suing individual file swappers that the volume of file-trading has decreased more than they would expect due to “seasonal variations.” I wonder just how much attention they have paid to the annual exodus of college students away from their high-speed campus links back to the slower world of the rest of America. It will be interesting to see in a couple of weeks is there is a greater than can be accounted for increase as freshmen and upperclassmen return to school and virtually unlimited bandwidth.
