Universities: embrace DRM, or lose funds

Here's an interesting insight into the priorities of modern America. Because, clearly, protecting sales of The Eagles album is more important than poor kids getting a decent education, a bill in front of the House of Representatives threatens to cut off all federal funding for students at schools which don't use technological methods to block filesharing and offer a DRM-heavy alternative. That's right - young people's education is being made dependent upon universities doing a deal with Napster or a similar company.
