Educause Issues Statement on RIAA's Methods of Catching Music Pirates
Some college officials are raising questions about the methods used by the Recording Industry Association of America to identify music pirates on campuses. Many college leaders had believed that the group monitored and identified actual instances of campus downloading before sending out notices to colleges to remove song files from college networks, but in a memo it sent to members on Monday, the group said that the RIAA only identifies when a music file is being made available by a college user, not whether it was actually downloaded.
Officials from the RIAA confirmed that aspect of their investigation process during an exclusive briefing for Chronicle reporters held at the group’s headquarters on Friday. Details of the briefing are available today in a free Chronicle article. —Jeffrey R. Young
