RateMyProfesors.com has launched a new set of annual rankings, including the top rated professors, as well as the hottest, as rated by students at universities across the country. The lists are compiled from what now include more than 7.5 million ratings from students on the site.
RateMyProfessors has introduced “Professor Rebuttal,” a way for teachers to respond to the student reviews, a feature that many professors probably thought was long overdue. RateMyProfessors also launched a Facebook application that lets users search for teacher rankings on the social networking site.

A great time was had by everyone who attended this afternoon’s press conference. I promise to post more pictures as we get them but I wanted to get at least a couple up tonight! All Time Low cracked us up, we were impressed by the sincerity of We the Kings and wowed by Boys Like Girls. I’ve got to say that it must be fun to tour with All Time Low because Alex and Company are hilarious.
A Minnesota woman named Jammie was sued by the RIAA for illegally making available for download some 1772 songs through the KAAZA network. The jury returned a verdict of $222,000. Just so you are clear on how they were able to prosecute Ms. Thomas, here are some of the facts courtesy of CNET News:
1. They were able to match her IP address with her user name.
2: These jury instructions:
JURY INSTRUCTION NO. 14: The act of downloading copyrighted sound recordings on a peer-to-peer network, without license from the copyright owners, violates the copyright owners’ exclusive reproduction right.
JURY INSTRUCTION NO. 15: The act of making copyrighted sound recordings available for electronic distribution on a peer-to-peer network, without license from the copyright owners, violates the copyright owners’ exclusive right of distribution, regardless of whether actual distribution has been shown.
3. They only had to show that she made the songs available for download, not that anyone actually downloaded them.
4. Here’s the penalties under copyright law:
Under the Copyright Act, each plaintiff is entitled to a sum of not less than $750 or more than $30,000 per act of infringement (that is, per sound recording downloaded or distributed without license), as you consider just. If, however, you find that the defendant’s conduct was willful, then each plaintiff is entitled to a sum of up to $150,000 per act of infringement (that is, per sound recording downloaded or distributed without license), as you consider just.
