Re: RIAA Notices

[Dean Williams <dean.williams () UVM EDU>]

It's good to know we're not alone.  Our complaints seem to concentrate  
on gnutella (97 between 4/23 and 4/25 alone).  BitTorrent brought just  
9 complaints in the same period.

It's hard to understand the RIAA's strategy.  The complaints would  
have much more impact earlier in the semester.  When they come in the  
last week of classes, it's tons of work for the staff handling the  
complaints, but it's not very effective in terms of changing  
behavior.  Virtually all violations are going to cease in about a week  
anyway, as students leave campus for the summer.
