NC State Stands Up to RIAA

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The Technician Online at North Carolina State University reports that its Director of Student Legal Services, Pam Gerace, has advised students to remain anonymous, and has indicated her office's willingness to challenge the RIAA's subpoenas. What's more, the newspaper urges students to take Ms. Gerace up on her offer. The fighting spirit of Jimmy Valvano lives on."

No, it's not wrong, merely confusing to those who haven't heard the term before. For example: Florida State University is usually just called 'Florida State' when talked about. When talking about the actual state, it's said 'The State of Florida'. Always.

NC State is the same way. Any time the government is talking, they'll call it the State of NC. NC State will always be the university.

TechnicianOnline.com is not hosted on campus. It's hosted by CollegePublisher.com so that they can host advertising.

I actually work for NCSU and would be the admin for the Technician server if we hosted it. I'm pretty thankful right now that we don't.

This morning I received an email from Ms. Gerace directly, and it appears that the Technician Online article is not 100% accurate. In fact, the Office of Legal Services is not able to represent students in federal court, and the students will need to use outside counsel for the actual litigation.
