Re: RIAA Moves Against College-Network Fileswapping

["Schmidt, Eric W" <erschmid () IUPUI EDU>]

I would be concerned that a smart lawyer out there will figure out that
suing a student is one thing but being able to file suit against the
"network operator" because they allowed the activity to take place or
didn't take actions to stop the activity would be more advantageous for
RIAA.

Do you feel this excludes them from turning a law suit against the
college network operators next?  Especially if they feel a college
hasn't done enough to discourage the activity?

        Please note, the action is not against network operators, but
users,
        students.  Attached is the RIAA letter concerning this matter.
