The RIAA, the folks that are suing the hell out of college kids who download music for free or those who may enable them, has come out with a scare video which is reminiscent of the old VD scare movies of the 1950's and 1960's. It even includes a warning about infecting ones computer with viruses as a result of promiscuous downloading. To the embarrassment of Penn State, Graham Spanier, in his role as corporate shill, makes a cameo appearance in this hilarious video which is destine to become a cult classic in the vein of Reefer Madness.
Update: Jannuary 2, 2008. Funny thing, the the above link to the scare video once took you to a Penn State RIAA URL with a streaming video. Now the link takes you to a RIAA URL with only a video preview. I guess Graham wanted to hide his performance from the public everyone was embarrassed by the thing. Not to worry, the video is on YouTube.
