RIAA files over 250 lawsuits; Worms continue to wiggle through campus net
BY JEN MALCOM
From 12-year-old girls to
senior citizens, people all over
the country have been effected.
Could the files downloaded on
your computer make you their
next target?
The Recording Industry As-sociation
of America (RIAA) has
been working closely with the
university community to stop
copyright infringement, accord-ing
to a press release from the
RIAA.
Earlier this summer they
subpoenaed records from Loyola
University Chicago in order to
obtain names of students alleg-edly
involved in the distribution
of copyrighted songs over the
university's computer network.

Though the scene in the Bar-one
Campus Center has calmed
down over the past week, the
message to Fairfield's students
is still the same regarding the
computer virus that has caused
Internet access to become erratic
and unstable.
"Our biggest problem right
now is communicating with
students the need to come to the
BCC," said Jay Rozgonyi, Macin-tosh
Services/Network Manager
of Computing and Network Ser-vices
(CNS).
As of Sept. 15, more than
1,700 students have brought
their computers to be fixed by
CNS technicians, which included
installations of Norton Antivirus
Corporate Edition and updating
all virus definitions and, at least
for some students, adding Win-dows
patches.
This leaves approximately
800 students remaining to bring
their computers to the BCC.
However, the flow of computer
repairs had slowed to a^ trickle:
by the afternoon of Sept. 15,
only 35 students brought in their
computers.

Arrests drop over 75% at the beach
BY ETHAN FRY & ZACK FINLEY
According to a report released last month, disor-derly
behavior at Fairfield beach plummeted over the
past year. From August 2002 to August 2003, there
were 25 arrests at the beach, compared to 112 arrests
from September 2001 to August 2002.
Sgt. Edward Greene of the Fairfield Police
Department said that the town's "disorderly conduct
ordinance" enacted in Sept. 2000 played a role" in
curtailing bad behavior at the beach.
"The ordinance has reduced the number of noise-related
complaints we've received in the Fairfield
beach area," Greene said.
According to Greene, the fine for creating a
public disturbance is $88, payable by mail.
The ordinance lets the town recoup the cost of send-ing
police to the same property on noise complaints.
