Just a reminder that the AoIR t-shirt competition is still going on. Check out current suggestions at http://www.scils.rutgers.edu/~bunz/aoir/logosite.htm Email designs to bunz@scils.rutgers.edu by July 26. Ulla T-shirt Competition: As AoIR is growing, the executive committee is planning to create t-shirts and possibly other items (such as mouse pads, coffee cups) for the association. These items would be available for purchase over the Internet before the conference. So far, we have created four possible t-shirt designs, available for your perusal at http://www.scils.rutgers.edu/~bunz/aoir/logosite.htm We would like to invite other suggestions and open up a competition for the best t-shirt design. Charlie Breindahl and Ulla Bunz will choose the best design of all submissions and the winner will receive a free t-shirt. You do not need to be very artistic, just creative. You can create images, or simply send a text description of your ideas to bunz@scils.rutgers.edu. There are only a few limitations that must be taken into consideration: - designs must include the AoIR logo, available on http://aoir.org - designs must be in black and white only The deadline for designs is July 26. Please send suggestions directly to bunz@scils.rutgers.edu, not to the Listserve. Designs will be made available on http://www.scils.rutgers.edu/~bunz/aoir/logosite.htm and we welcome constructive feedback. Thanks!

via the New York Times: COLLEGES RESIST RECORD INDUSTRY SUBPOENAS Boston College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said yesterday that they were barred from immediately handing over the names of students to the recording industry by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which requires institutions to notify students before releasing any personal data. The Recording Industry of America has filed almost 1,000 subpoenas in Federal District Court in Washington, requesting information from educational institutions and Internet service providers on users of KaZaa, the file-sharing service. The group issued the requests as part of its effort to crack down on those using the Internet to illegally distribute copyrighted music. Both colleges said they were opposing the subpoenas on procedural grounds, rather than contesting the association's right to the information. "In this case we have been advised by counsel that the subpoena was not in compliance with the court rules that apply to these subpoenas, and did not allow M.I.T. time to send any notice as the law requires," said James D. Bruce, vice president for information systems at M.I.T. As a result, the refusals could further delay but are unlikely to derail the recording industry's efforts to unmask file swappers and ultimately file suit against them. (CNET News.com)
