RIAA Sends Colleges a P2P Heads Up
Roy Mark writes on internetnews.com:
In a new legal campaign launched today against illegal peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is offering college and university students a chance to settle before they get sued.More here.
On behalf of the major music labels, the RIAA sent 400 "pre-litigation" settlement letters to 13 different colleges and universities. Each letter informs the school of a forthcoming copyright infringement lawsuit against one of its students or personnel.
The RIAA wants the schools to forward the letters to their students. Each letter offers a student a "discounted rate" to settle copyright infringement charges. The RIAA wouldn't disclose what the discount is, but the group is effectively giving students a chance to settle before it sues them.
