How the RIAA Targets Campus Copyright Violators

Posted by timothy on from the lures-them-in-with-jim-hawkins-dolls dept.

jyosim writes "The Chronicle of Higher Ed got a briefing at RIAA headquarters on how the group catches pirates. They just use LimeWire and other software that pirates use, except that they've set up scripts to search for songs, grab IP numbers, and send out notices to college officials. They claim they don't target specific colleges, though many feel that they do."

    and thieves hate the police, and therefore, police keep their private identities (home phone numbers, home addresses) confidential...so by your suggestion, police officers should do some "deep self-examination" regarding their jobs?

    your post is hogwash

    It would be best if you didn't share at all, but if you feel you have to...

    Place an annotation clearly stating that this folder is only available to individuals that are in no way, shape, or form affiliated with the RIAA, one of it's member companies, clients, or third-party company acting on behalf of said RIAA.

    Then if they try to come at you, sue them for criminal trespass.
