With Cable TV at M.I.T., Who Needs Napster?

Two students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a system for sharing music within their campus community that they say can avoid the copyright battles that have pitted the music industry against many customers.

The students, Keith Winstein and Josh Mandel, drew the idea for their campus-wide network from a blend of libraries and from radio. Their effort, the Libraries Access to Music Project, which is backed by M.I.T. and financed by research money from the Microsoft Corporation, will provide music from some 3,500 CD's through a novel source: the university's cable television network.

Students devise way to get free music

BOSTON, Oct. 27 (UPI) -- Tired of the legal wrangling over music sharing, two Massachusetts Institute of Technology students in Boston have devised a campus music library.

Record industry accusations and litigation over the copyright violations of shared music are bypassed by the MIT system that instead of using digital computer technology uses analog to distribute 3,500 CDs via the campus cable television network.
