No Dorm room is safe

Oh, c'mon! Kids are kids. College students have always been heavily into bootleg music, but it seems like the more MP3 sites there are out there, the more the Recording Industry Association of America gets its tighty whities in a knot over what to do about the rampant downloading. Is it realistic to think that raiding student computers will make a worthwhile dent in all the amount clandestine music files? Maybe, maybe not, but lord knows the country's many institutes of higher learning are giving it the old college try. Doug Reece of MP3.com covers the story by focusing on the situation at the University of Florida, and provides an interesting glimpse at the almost comic difficulty of enforcing the new rules.
