iTunes Sharing at Colleges
Yale's Daily News reports on the increasing use of iTunes software at the Yale college campus. It appears to reflect a growing trend amongst colleges where iTunes' ability to share music playlists is turning out to be a very popular feature.

College dorms, however, also bring together numerous users on a single local network allowing these students to share songs via iTunes.
