Penn State Buys Napster for Student Body - But Do They Want It?

News.com reports that students at Penn State don't want their tuition money spent to protect them from RIAA lawsuits. The school's intention was to offer a legal alternative to downloading from services like Kazaa, but those who will not use the new Napster feel that subsidizing this services is a misuse of their mandatory student fees. Adding this news to that of the now on-hold LAMP program at MIT, the future of music on demand at universities is still a mystery.
