Doing business with Pepsi caps

The Pepsi-iTMS operation created in some US universities a very profitable business, according to Salem:

For one month, one Pepsi bottle out of three has a code to download a free song through iTunes...
I discovered that in a Michigan University, an impressive network of students decided to earn money with this Pepsi-Apple commercial operation. Several students seek the "winning caps" in the cafeteria, and buy them 35 cents to the owner.
Then, without scruples, they sale them back 75 cents to other students, and it seems to work in a terrific way! They claim their price is cheaper than the one proposed by Apple (99 cents), and that it's totally legal!
The administration of the University has posted on the walls that any denunuciation would be rewarded by a $500 voucher in the University shop and book store. The problem is that they are facing a massive wave of denunciations, making things more and more tricky!! But at least, here, in this University, we can't say any more that Apple can't advertise!!
