enough time to study.
The colorful atmosphere inside
The Pita Pit is what drew University
sophomore Ariel Lancaster.
"It's a great place to just sit," she
said, "whether I'm studying or with
my friends."
A Canadian-based, family-owned
franchise, The Pita Pit first made its
way into die United States two and a
half years ago. Since the Pit's initial
appearance, franchises have been
built across the country at the rate of
four to six new stores every month.
Dowell said his main clientele are
students and young professionals.
"We've got a great variety," he said.
"We offer pitas for almost everybody,
from carnivore to vegetarian."

Meanwhile, Kazaa, a popular
peer-to-peer file-sharing service, has
undertaken its own battle with
Kazaa Lite, an unauthorized version
of Kazaa wherein users do not see
pop-up ads, which appear in the
original version of Kazaa. Kazaa
owner Sharman Networks threat
ened the search engine Google with
legal action under the Digital Mil
lennium Copyright Act if Google did
not remove from its index nine sites
that distribute Kazaa Lite.
Google complied, and now in
cludes a warning at the bottom of
pages that appear when the term
"kazaa" is typed in the search engine:
"In response to a complaint we re
ceived under the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act, we have removed nine
result(s) from this page. If you wish,
you may read the DMCA complaint
for these removed results."
Despite the controversy surround
ing online music downloads, Apple's
launch of the new iTunes Music Store
has prompted some optimism from
those who seek to end illegal file
sharing. iTunes, the first service to be
supported by the major music labels,
offers songs for download at a price
of 99 cents per song. Many music
artists who have previously shunned
online distribution also support the
iTunes service.
Although some University students
can't access iTunes because it is cur
rently only compatible with Macin
tosh computers, some students who
have used it say they love it.
"1 love that I don't have to wade
through hundreds of bad versions of
songs to find the one that actually
sounds good," University sophomore
Erica Reid said.
Apple officials have said they are
hoping to make the program com
patible with the Microsoft Windows
platform by the end of the year.
"There's no legal alternative that's
worth beans," Apple Chief Executive
Officer Steve Jobs said in a state
ment. "It's not stealing anymore. It's
good karma."
