Napster Strikes Deal With GWU 234

Posted by timothy on Saturday July 17, 2004 @08:04PM from the sleepytime dept.

ParticleMan911 writes "In an attempt to thwart illegal music downloads, GWU has struck a deal with Napster to allow every student living on campus a free subscription to Napster's streaming audio service. Every one of the 700,000 songs on Napster will be available to stream on each students' computer. GWU is not disclosing how much the streaming service, available to all users at $9.95/Month, is costing them, but the first year trial of the service has been donated by an anonymous donor. Will this method help get rid of illegal music downloads, or simply be a handy tool to use while your real mp3s are downloading?"

dude, DRM is not security through obscurity. its security through "you don't have an electron microscope to read the bits of the private hardware crypto key!"
