The Register has published an interesting article on implementing the Napster service at Wright State University. Wright State is one of the six colleges that recently signed up with Napster -- mostly to avoid legal trouble with RIAA.
While every student at the university will have to pay a quarterly $189 communications fee, which will be used, among other things, to cover for the Napster expenses, only half of the students will be able to take full advantage of the service.
"Apparently, Wright State students are meant to think of each other as Comrades and take care of each others' critical music needs," Ashlee Vance writes. In addition the director of computing and telecommunications at Wright State, Paul Hernandez estimates that an extra $8 per quarter Napster fee will be added on top of the communications fee.
The deals rise several other concerns as well. Please read the entire article at The Register.
