The RIAA strikes again targeting users from colleges
In what seems like a repeat from months gone by, the Recording Industry Association of America has issued another round of lawsuits (bringing the total number to 2,454) targeting users from colleges such as Mansfield, Michigan State University, Texas A&M University and several others.
From CNN, "The recording industry sued 477 more computer users Wednesday, including dozens of college students at schools in 11 states, accusing them of illegally sharing music across the Internet.
The Recording Industry Association of America, the trade group for the largest labels, praised efforts by colleges and universities to use technology and school policies to crack down on music piracy on their own computer networks. But it said the most egregious offenders on campus deserved to be sued.
'There is also a complementary need for enforcement by copyright owners against the serious offenders to remind people that this activity is illegal,' said the group's president, Cary Sherman."
