GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - Four schools in the University of North Carolina system will participate in a pilot program that allows students to download music, movies and other copyrighted material on the Internet for free.
Four providers - iTunes, Ruckus, Cdigix and Rhapsody - are participating in the test spearheaded by UNC system administrators.
Universities are responsible for monitoring any computers hooked into their networks and are expected to remove copyrighted files that are shared illegally.
Students probably will have to pay a fee for the program once the testing phase ends, said Tom Warner, director of coordinated technology for the UNC system.
