College Demands RIAA Pay Up For Wasting Its Time

Posted by Zonk on from the me-next-me-next dept.

An anonymous reader writes "We've already seen the University of Wisconsin tell the RIAA to go away, but the University of Nebaska has gone one step further: it's asking the RIAA to pay up for wasting its time with the silly demand to push students into paying up. The spokesperson for the University also notes that since they constantly rotate IP addresses and have no need to hang onto that information for very long, they simply cannot help the RIAA. They have no clue who was attached to which IP address at the time the RIAA is complaining about."

      This really worries me, since I use USAA for a lot of my insurance and banking.

  5. Reasons for RIAA not to sue Universities by WillAffleckUW · · Score: 4, Funny

    1. People know the actual terms of licenses and what Fair Use is.

    2. Many many lawyers and soon-to-be lawyers looking forward to massive p0wnage of RIAA that will give them credit and make a name for them in future work in the law are studying at the universities.

    3. Many faculty lawyers looking to publish papers to prove how good they are at p0wning RIAA - publish or perish!

    4. Lots of grads willing to donate money to their alum funds to help p0wn RIAA.

    5. It's just plain FUN!

    Okay, I'm starting a pool. Who will the RIAA go after next? Place your bets.

    I'm taking whales.
    They can't go after wales. Do you know how hard it is to serve a subpoena in Welsh?

    You try reading legalise with all the vowels stripped out.
