The University of Oregon's own daily publishes classified ads for rentals, roommates and more. This is another good resource if you're looking for lodging close to campus.

Eugene Weekly, a local tabloid, also has a relatively small classified section. It may, however, offer listings not included in the Register Guard. You'll need to scroll down to the bottom of the classifieds to see the rentals. A trip through the rest of the paper will uncover the happenings around town including music, theater and other events.

The Student's Cooperative Association is a student-owned housing organization that offers cooperative living arrangements in houses owned by members. There are three houses right on the edge of campus, including one geared toward graduate students. Membership includes both room and board; members share responsibility for the daily functions of the house.

The classified section of the Register Guard offers daily and Sunday listings and is a great resource for information. The RG allows you to search for real estate for rent and real estate for sale. You can limit your search by price, property type and desired amenities. The keyword box allows you the option of narrowing your search further by including a street or neighborhood name. A trip to the home page can also keep you up-to-date on current events in the Willamette valley.

           Eugene Goryunov gives her opinion on Perfect 10 v. Google and gives an extensive description of the case, the decisions, and the progression of Copyright Law.  In general, he strongly agreed with my thesis and agreed that Google should not be found liable.  His analysis centers on his assessment of the Court's decisions.  His first assessment is that the judge used a proper application of the "Server" test to in-line linking because "Google's use of in-line linking and framing does not constitute a "display" of images and cannot serve as a basis for finding direct liability.(516)" This supports my thesis because this holds that Google is not directly liable for copyright infringement.

            Goryunov follows this by offering his opinion on the Court's assessment of Fair Use.  He disagreed with the district court's application of the first and fourth factors of Fair Use.  According to Goryunov, "the court abused its discretion by apportioning excessive weight to the commercial nature of Google's secondary use and ignoring the highly transformative secondary use of the technology, which weighs in favor of fair use as a matter of law."  Thus, he agrees with me that the transformative use is more important than the commercial.  This supports my thesis in that the first factor leans towards Fair Use and therefore supports Google.  With regards to the fourth factor, Goryunov stated that, "the court abused its discretion in finding that Google's secondary use of thumbnail copies of P10's full-size images had an adverse effect on P10's market." He continues by arguing that Google's image search actually would not and does not have an adverse effect on Perfect 10's sales.  This also supports my thesis since it claims the fourth factor is Fair Use and is thus supporting Google.

            He continued by speculating what he believes could be a useful addition to Fair Use.  He states that some people have suggested adding a fifth factor that would use public policy as a guiding force.  This would help Google and my thesis, for Google's image search helps the public obtain images greatly, even those which are not infringing on copyright.  He goes on to agree with the District Court's decision to find Google not secondarily liable.  This pretty clearly also supports my thesis and Google's argument.
