Florida Republican Ric Keller introduced the
Curb Illegal Downloading on College Campuses Act of 2007, so apparently the problems of terrorism, global warming, Anna Nicole's baby daddy, and Sanjaya have all been solved. Yay.
"Illegal downloading of music and movies on college campuses is harming their computer networks by consuming a huge amount of education-related bandwidth and exposing them to viruses. It's just plain wrong to steal billions of dollars in intellectual property from hardworking people whose jobs hang in the balance," said Keller.
"My legislation encourages colleges to be part of the solution by allowing them to apply for federal grants to help purchase innovative technologies that will stem piracy on their computer networks," Keller added.
Onward to the war on Delta House!
