On nothing but a hunch I just googled on "MIT Media Center funding".

 From the wikipedia entry:

"""


    Funding model

Funding for the Media Lab works differently from most academic 
institutions in that the Media Lab receives a great deal of corporate 
sponsorship. The Media Lab receives substantial funding from a 
consortium of commercial partners, who gain access to the intellectual 
property generated at the lab.
"""

Why the hunch???

Is has seemed to me - just in passing - as a hotbed of intellectual 
dishonesty.

And a noteworthy influence.

head from sand -ever?
