Tennessee keeps its priorities straight! - 11/19/08 10:31 PM
Combating music piracy at Tennessee's public university system is more important than hiring teachers and keeping down tuition costs.
Just-signed legislation requires the 222,000-student system to spend an estimated $9.5 million for file sharing "monitoring software," "monitoring hardware" and an additional "recurring cost of $1,575,000 for 21 staff positions and benefits (@75,000 each) to monitor network traffic" of its students.
It's a good thing the State of Tennessee knows its priorties, huh? If you live in Tennessee, please tell us how you feel about this.
