Duke University is giving all incoming freshmen an iPod. The kit includes a 20 gig iPod, voice recording attachment and gift certificate for song downloads at a special Duke-only Apple iTunes online store.
The iPod is also engraved with the Duke crest and comes pre-loaded with some content, like a message from the university president and the Duke fight song. Bet those files will be top downloads on Kazaa within the week.
This a heck of a lot better than the free tube of toothpaste, poster and Vols mousepad I got when arriving at the University of Tennessee back in 1994. Of course, UT tuition wasn't $37,555 either.

I think Duke is using this as a way to try weaning students off of open file sharing in favor of legal systems like Apple's iTunes.
