8. 15 July 2005P2P and Cyber Security8 How are the Services being Used? n Digital Music News (July 2005) – Napster Faces Difficult Result at University of Rochester Napster faced some dour survey results from the University of Rochester, with most students avoiding paid downloads on the application. Napster has been brokering deals with several universities to provide students with a legal music alternative, with Rochester one college to jump on board. Most recently, UK-based newspaper The Register seized on the results from the recent survey, which showed heavy usage of the on-demand service without any subsequent a-la-carte purchases. A modest 8 percent of respondents indicated that they actually purchased downloads from competing stores like iTunes and MusicMatch, while a sizeable group most likely grabbed additional tracks from various P2P services.

9. 15 July 2005P2P and Cyber Security9 How are the Services being Used? n Digital Music News (July 2005) – Napster Faces Difficult Result at University of Rochester The survey points to a very difficult college crowd, though the Napster application itself appears to be getting heavy usage. 86 percent of those surveyed indicated that they have actively streamed songs, or obtained a tethered download, both of which are covered by university fees. But the students raised concerns over the use of WMA- based DRM on permanent downloads, with most used to the freedom of unprotected MP3s. That highlights an interesting usage pattern, and places a tough spotlight on existing DRM strategies. For Napster, the big question is whether students will opt to continue their subscriptions upon graduation, though so far there is not strong evidence that this will happen.
