University Bows to RIAAs Demands for Student Names

Posted by samzenpus on from the they-will-always-be-stronger-than-us dept.

jcgam69 writes "Hours after a federal court judge ordered Oklahoma State University to show cause why it shouldn't be held in contempt for failing to respond to an RIAA subpoena, attorneys for the school e-mailed a list of students' names to the RIAA's attorneys. But now that the RIAA has what it wanted, the group is unsure about how to go about sending out its pre-litigation settlement letters. Some of the students are represented by an attorney, meaning that the RIAA is barred from contacting them directly."

    Thanks to our Alma Mater, O...S...U.

    "Judge, your recent decision to threaten to hold OSU in contempt of court for attempting to stop the RIAA from extorting money from college students suggests that you may be being illegally bribed and/or in collusion with the RIAA's organized crime tactics. We the people therefore find sufficient cause for a search and seizure of any and all bank accounts, personal property, and any other assets you may own."
