The RIAA has done the equivalent of a pissed-off little kid. After losing some recent cases they have started a vendetta against individual users. For example, at my college we usually get about 40 DMCA (digital millennium copyright act) violations a year at a school of about 20,000. In the last month we have had 60 sometimes coming in seven or eight at a time. There is undoubtedly some stepping up by the RIAA. Luckily, my schools policy is to take the matter internal instead of allowing any student to be given up. Lucky us . . .
