Just saw this article about a student at Arizona state getting sued for downloading music and movies off the web.

That's quite a fine.

LMAO KSig RC, so true

when all a poster every does is post about one particular subject, it definitely makes them questionable.

Remember the stealth marketers? When all they ever poster was what do you think of this movie, I heard it's really good, over and over again.

One topic? I really don't agree with that. I am a recent grad, but was very involved with my fraternity as treasurer my sophomore year and president my junior year. I am also a very involved alumni with our Grand Chapter. I have posted lots of comments and advice in the General Discussion forum based on my experiences. Unfortunately my chapter's forum is not active so I have not been able to participate much there.

I think the topic of dowloading material is interesting and one that is very relevant to college students. I know when I was an undergrad Napster was king and file sharing on the school's network was very popular.

Thanks for the clarification re: UoA & ASU My brain has been all over UofA with my NCAA Bracket - which ps looks like crap now thanks to all the upsets this weekend.

Anyway, if I got fined $5,400 for pirated movies, I'd have about, oh, negative $5,400 in my account.

Wow, heaven forbid someone experience a real-true-life issue on here. Sorry dude, sorry that you had the self-appointed GC originality police jump all over your ass. I hope you don't let that discourage you and that you stick around and post a bit.
