The RIAA is back at it again! And this time, instead of going after younger kids and teens, they’re going after college students. They are taking a different route with the college students by trying to persuade them to settle the disputes out of court which means less hassle for the RIAA but more money.

400 letters went out to students from 13 Universities.  The universities are to let the students know that they will be sued– but can settle out of court before the lawsuits are filed.  This is the first round of letters to go out to college students, and the RIAA plans on sending out hundreds of letters per month.

If students settle, they would have to pay a fine. I’m wondering how much that fine would actually be, because all that has been disclosed is that the amount would be lower than what it would cost to be taken to court. Students would also have to sign something saying that they won’t download music illegally anymore.

What’s even more ridiculous is that the RIAA has set up a website where students can settle this and pay their fine using a credit card.  The entire process would be completed online which makes this easy money for the RIAA.

More than 1 billion songs are downloaded illegally every month, and one study that the University of Richmond conducted found that more than half of college students download music illegally. So, obviously a good portion of those 1 billion songs are college students.

Are the students better off settling? Or should they fight it in court? Afterall, there have been several victories recently where the RIAA was ordered to pay out to some of the victims who fought back.

Everyone has hopes and dreams of designing the next Million Dollar Homepage, but many of us just aren’t clever enough. If you aren’t familiar with The Million Dollar Homepage then I would be quite surprised. A few months ago it was all over the news because they were selling pixels of a Website for $1 per pixel. The developer of the site made plenty more than the projected $1 million and started to give other people ideas of similar sites.

Well, the idea has finally moved from the digital form and pushed itself into the real world. The building pictured above is in the Netherlands and the people are selling ad space to anyone that wants to buy it. For just 29x35cm of ad space you will have to fork out 19.99! That’s right, how much do you think some of those companies like Nike paid for the advertising space? Well they are taking up 380 tiles so it would be…a lot of money!

Staples is having a great deal on a SanDisk 2GB Cruzer M2 because it is just $44.99 after the instant savings and coupon have been applied. They normally sell it for $100 so this is quite a savings. PriceGrabber has the lowest price at $50 but there is a $15 mail-in rebate that you have to hassle with…which makes this instant deal even better.

Here are the specs:

• 2GB
• USB 2.0
• Includes U3 smart™ technology – carry your files AND your software on a USB drive
• New retractable USB port eliminates the need for caps and protects your USB connector
• With U3 have your wallpaper, preferences, favorites, profiles, and more on any PC, wherever you go

“OldManDeath” is the one that sent me this tip and he said that the U3 launcher seemed to have some troubles with the Windows Firewall that was causing his system to hang when the drive was inserted. After a quick conversation with Tech Support (which he said was surprisingly helpful) he decided to remove the U3 launcher because he only wanted the drive for storage.

When I was looking around for a good deal on flash drives I was looking at this model. That was about two months ago and these things were way to expensive because they are smaller than the average flash drive. So if you have been hunting around for a nice drive you better scoop this up before it expires.

This article was written on October 04, 2007 by CyberNet.

If you’ve been itching to get your hands on a low-cost media player there may not be another chance like this this. Woot is currently selling refurbished 30GB Zune’s for a whopping $100 (+ $5 for shipping)! That’s just crazy!

What’s really interesting is the URL that is used to access the deal. You’ll notice that it doesn’t take you to the typical Woot homepage which currently has a different deal going on right now. If you look closely in the sidebar there is a disclaimer:

You know Woot as the site that sells one product per day, cheap. But this isn’t exactly Woot. This is a special super-secret page we set up to get our family and friends off our backs about these things (hi mom!); we’re tired of entering manual orders. Your order here will be processed and shipped like any other order with Woot.

You’re here because you seem like the kind of discriminating, savvy consumer who can be flattered into dropping some cash with us. If you’re tempted to sneak a few of your lowlife pals in the back door, remember: that’s a really nice computer you have there. It’d be a shame if anything happened to it. (Ok, no, we won’t be breaking your computer. And yes, you can sneak your lowlife pals in, but make sure they follow the dress code.)

Yeah, so it appears that this page wasn’t supposed to be made available to the public, but dozens of sites have already written about it. Frankly, we didn’t want any of you to miss out on such a good deal.

And yes, this low price is probably in light of the 2nd generation Zune’s getting announced, but it’s expected that the old Zune’s will also be getting a software facelift. If you’re looking for a media player this has gotta be a deal that’s hard to pass up! Maybe you can start stocking up for the holidays.

Thanks for the tip Mark!
