Hi, With all the talk of music and copyright, have any of you dealt with Music, Etc.? http://www.musicetc.org/ In the flurry of notices received at year end, one of our students received a copyright notice for music downloaded from this site. She was told by friends it was a legit site, and when I look at it, I can see why the students would believe that to be true. There's another site that suggests that Music Etc is a scam, but the scam warning looks less official than the Music Etc site: http://www.topmusicservices.org/mp3downloadscams.html?tid=04awlllMusic Etc The student cannot remove Music Etc from her computer until we've unblocked her network access, so it is a bit complicated for students to undo. -- Theresa Rowe Chief Information Officer rowe () oakland edu Oakland University -- Theresa Rowe Chief Information Officer rowe () oakland edu Oakland University
