Education 2.0: The College Student's Guide to File Sharing

Interesting story from Wired.com:

'"College: You finally made it. But now that you're here, how should you spend your first few weeks at school?

By filling up the hard drive of your brand-new Toshiba R500 with loads of music and video files, that's how. By harnessing the full file-sharing power of a high-speed, university-class network.

But how? Is it safe? Legal? Faster than asking your parents to burn a few DVDs and put them into their monthly care package?

Excellent questions -- the mark of a true student. Welcome to File Sharing 101."
