<p>wow!............</p>
<p>That's absurd. I'm all for being cooperative with complaints from the MPAA and RIAA, etc., but I think the university doing their policing for them crosses the line, hugely.</p>
<p>I can tell you that if I were a Stanford student, I would no longer trust the administration to be in any way looking out for my welfare after a development like this.</p>
<p>HOAX! According to a thread on the Stanford forum, this article is NOT from the Stanford Daily, but from the college's humor magazine.</p>
<p>Yes, this is a fake. Every year, the week before finals, the Chaparral humor magazine produces a full fake issue of the Daily. Other articles this year included Fidel Castro being invited as a Hoover Institution fellow, and the biology department being consumed by slime mold.</p>
<p>If you go to riaa.stanford.edu, you can enter your name and "find out" if you've been reported. I can't figure out how it determines which answer to give you, except that it isn't random and doesn't depend on whether the name you enter is that of a Stanford student.</p>
<p>glad to hear it's fake :)!</p>
<p>The West coast has a month earlier to play April fool!</p>
