Napster should not be regulated

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Oct. 11,2000 1:55 a.m.

Last week, alumnus Mark Cuban offered to pay for the bandwidth to support Napster for students' use. Also, Georgia Tech decided not to ban Napster because their students "are bright enough to find ways around it." Other universities have made the same decision, albeit for different reasons. IU will continue its Napster ban, despite the precedent set around the country to keep Napster available to students. But it is not the place of this administration to regulate content on the Internet. As of now, the courts have not given their final word on the case filed by the music industry against Napster. Under the U.S. legal system, a party is innocent until proven guilty. In other words, Napster is legal until proven illegal.
