From the first paragraph of the article: "The House passed the College Opportunity and Affordability Act (COAA) last week, leaving the troubling "Campus Digital Theft Prevention" requirements intact despite recent revelations that fears over unauthorized campus-based filesharing were drastically overblown by the motion picture industry." The differences between the House and Senate version of the bill have yet to be reconciled, and the senate version does not contain this provision, according to the article. So there is still time to write the representatives on the conference committee to ask that this addendum be removed. FYI. John A.
