Napster Expands Services to Colleges

"Napster, in its latest guise as an ambassador for legal music on campus, said Monday that six universities have signed up to offer its digital song services to their students.

"By taking a lead in approaching college administrators to offer cut-rate subscriptions to its legal digital music service, it attempts to entice students away from popular file-swapping networks like Kazaa.

"Cornell University, George Washington University, Middlebury College, University of Miami, University of Southern California and Wright State University all are working to create their own on-campus version of the service, the company said. Pennsylvania State University and the University of Rochester have already started the service."
