"In the longstanding battle between the higher-education community and the entertainment industry over how aggressive colleges should be in trying to stop the swapping of music and video files over campus networks, the entertainment industry has prevailed," The Chronicle of Higher Education reports. "The industry triumphed in pushing through a provision in the renewal of the Higher Education Act that would force colleges to use 'technology-based deterrents' to curtail the ability of students to share copyrighted works using peer-to-peer networks. The industry also succeeded in attaching language to the bill that would force colleges 'to the extent practicable' to offer students music and video through subscription-based services such as Ruckus Network Inc. Negotiators for the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate reached agreement on the bill Tuesday night."
