In a letter to Congressional leaders, the MPAA continues to push for special copyright provisions in a new bill reauthorizing the federal student aid program for college students. Filtering, it seems, can save big money on bandwidth, but colleges remain unimpressed.
Zombie Jack Valenti however remains pleased.

Hey. Now hold on here. Tell me what college wouldn't want outside sources isolating Media selection to a "narrow band" of special interests and having a new bill to justify it to their students? Well? WELL?!

I don't think many colleges would like their "information superhighway" to be filtered at all, especially the more liberal colleges. I feel that most colleges have more respect for our basic rights than any other type of institution, even if some may be government funded. The implementation of this of this type of filtering may then be stretched so that your house has monitors not allowing you to, even accidentally, record a TV screen with a camcorder; in the end a form of Orwell's 1984.
