RIAA Sends Out Its December Piracy Notices
With winter breaks bearing down, the Recording Industry Association of America has sent out its monthly batch of pre-litigation notices a bit early this December. (The letters typically reach campus in boxes in the middle of every month.)
In this batch, the trade group asks 22 colleges to pass out-of-court settlement offers on to 396 students accused of pirating music. The institutions receiving the notices are Auburn, Brandeis, Indiana State, Iowa State, Louisiana Tech, Mississippi State, Morehead State, and Western Kentucky Universities; Gustavus Adolphus and Ithaca Colleges; the Universities of Arizona, Dayton, Rochester, Southern California, and Washington; the Georgia and Rochester Institutes of Technology; the University of Massachusetts at Amherst; Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis; and the University of California’s Davis, San Diego, and Santa Cruz campuses. —Brock Read

There is a clear pattern. The RIAA is staying away from schools where the students or the schools have fought back, or where the judges are wise to its shenanigans. I tried to put in a series of links here to illustrate my point, but was unable to. I’ve posted a proposed article on Slashdot on the subject, it’s presently at this url: http://slashdot.org/firehose.pl?op=view&id=416673
Best regards
