Sure, students are leaving campus for the summer. But the Recording Industry Association of America’s pre-litigation notices are still pouring in: This week the trade group sent 395 of the messages to 19 different colleges.
The industry group has asked campus officials to pass the letters along to students accused of copyright infringement, and many colleges have obliged. Previous pre-litigation notices have told students they have 20 days to settle out of court before the industry files suit. But now that summer has arrived, and students are a bit harder to track down, the industry says it will give potential defendants a bit more time to contemplate a settlement. —Brock Read
