The RIAA is conducting its investigations on illegal music downloads just like the Salem witch trials. Paranoia and a McCarthyist attitude are being propagated by the organization. It has come to a point that college networks are relentlessly monitored by the RIAA in order to choose which unsuspecting college students to victimize next.
It’s a little known fact that colleges are getting involved in this operation without them wanting to. They also expend resources and manpower just to make sure that the subjects of the lawsuits are truly the ones guilty.
But they’ve had enough.
More and more colleges are now refusing to help the RIAA for a job that they are not compensated on. The common consensus is that their energies are better spent on actually taking care of their students rather than helping a dinosaur organization.

I’m a big documentary fan. I love the fact that in watching this genre, you not only get entertained, you also learn something new. You won’t believe this, but I’ve been hooked on docus since I was six years old. There was this old TV channel that used to show different types of nature shows and science documentaries during the weekends and at weekday afternoons. I religiously watched these shows and I could probably trace my love for astronomy and physics from watching them.
Now that I’m a father to a precocious four-year-old boy, I am trying to share with him my love for documentaries. Unfortunately, aside from expensive DVD purchases, the only other way I can get documentaries are from torrent sites. The choices are quite extensive, unfortunately, I still have not find a site that offers free legal downloads of documentaries.
I hope that some enterprising bloke will see what a great service it would be to mankind if they provide documentaries for free as a way of firing up the imaginations of children all over the world.
