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

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.
