For those who haven't heard about it yet, there's proof now that the people of Nebraska, for all the wisecracks about being rednecks and hicks and corn-fed inbreds, are smarter than the RIAA:

RIAA University Campaign Sputters: Group Asked To Pay Up For Wasting School's Time

From the article:

Meanwhile, the University of Nebraska has told the RIAA that it can't help them identify many of the students accused of file trading. The school's system changes a computer's IP address each time its turned on, and it only keeps this information for month. After that month, the school has no way of associating an IP address with a computer or its user. The RIAA is angry about this, and a spokesman for the group criticized the university for not understanding "the need to retain these records"....If there were any doubt that the university is really irritated by the RIAA's requests, it has requested that the RIAA pay the university to reimburse its expenses from dealing with this.

For the first time in my life, I think, I feel compelled to say "Go Big Red!"

(Sorry. It won't happen again.)
