All valid points, Scott, but I think it is also our retinospbilisy to give a clear presentation of what the University considers fair use. If the students stay within those parameters, it should also be our job to defend them against over-zealous companies who have started using the DMCA as a weapon.Fair use is at the very core of academic endeavors, and we can't simply say that the RIAA or MPAA are the law; the law is the law.

His new plan, which is Abbott warmed over, will have no appreciable impact on the aid any district in Morris County receives.Another Promise Made, Another Promise Broken.So, we've lost our rebates, and we've seen no appreciable increase in state aid, ergo, Corzine has screwed us on Property Taxes.And your line The only impact the state can have is to takeover tasks performed by local governments. This, of course would force the state to raise income tax. Thus setting a Democrats raise taxes rant. is completely wrong.
