The Financial Aid 'Stick' Against Illegal Downloading

Traffic has been terrible on my commute since the more than 28,000 students have returned to the University of Pittsburgh campus. The same story is certainly true at thousands of other colleges and universities. Students have settled into a cornucopia of high-speed internet options, such as broadband ports in dorm rooms, computer labs in many campus buildings, and ubiquitous wireless networking virtually everywhere. While internet access is intended (and often used) to facilitate the learning process, a number of students will take advantage of the access to break out Limewire or another peer-to-peer (P2P) network and enhance their MP3 or movie collections by illegally exchanging copyrighted materials.
