The Recording Industry Association of America issued on Wednesday another round of lawsuits against campus song-swapping suspects—and for the second straight month, the suits focus on users of Abilene, Internet2’s high-speed research network.
Last month the industry sued 405 computer users at 18 colleges, accusing the defendants of sharing songs on i2hub, a student-run file-sharing system that operates on Abilene. The new lawsuits accuse 91 campus-network users, at 33 colleges, of online piracy. The institutions include some that have offered students legal downloading services, like Tufts University and the Rochester Institute of Technology.
