Oklahoma State University submitted to the Recording Industry Association of America on Tuesday the names of 11 students accused by the group of swapping music files online in violation of copyright law, a university spokesman said.
In an order on Tuesday, a federal judge, David L. Russell, said the university had failed to respond to a subpoena seeking the identities of the students, and he asked why he should not hold the university in contempt.
According to a university spokesman, Gary Shutt, Oklahoma State had already e-mailed the names to the recording-industry group, but the group never received them. —Andrea L. Foster
