"The reason for it is so the college doesn't get misrepresented in some way or make it look like the college is endorsing a product or issue," according to Santa Rosa Junior College President Robert Agrella.
How about making Robert Agrella look, at the least, ignorant of how the internet and trademarks work, and at the worst, a total dumbass?
I just don't understand what parallel universe this judge must inhabit wherein gun, automobile and screwdriver manufacturers are innocent of the crimes committed with their products yet software developers and (legal) service providers are somehow guilty of "inducement".
It is my fervent hope that people will never be able to pilot their flying cars once they leave the road for the sky.
Actually, I eagerly anticipate the day when most people are forced to give over control of even their purely terrestrial vehicles to sophisticated, on-board electronics.
Probably a better way to ask this question is, "How do musicians get paid for copies of recordings?"
No one is forcing musicians to release copies of recordings.
Musicians do not have a "right" to release copies of recordings. It's a choice, an option.
Because technology has pushed the price of copies of recordings down to near zero, it might be necessary for each musician to weigh the possible benefits of releasing recordings in this environment.
Talking about "rights", returning the price of copies to previous levels would require a massive trampling of the rights of EVERYONE. Not to mention reversing a couple of decades worth of technological process. Taxes on internet connections and blank media, mandated DRM in electronic devices - all of these "solutions" proposed to safeguard the release of copies of recordings - all constitute abridgement of EVERYONE'S rights.
In yet other words, if music recording had just been invented, in its present form, musicians would have to adapt. Period.
