Federal Judge: College must turn over student names to RIAA »
From the Flat Hat (Student Newspaper of the College of William and Mary):
U.S. District Judge F. Bradford Stillman this morning ruled that the College must turn over the names of 20 students suspected of downloading music illegally to the Recording Industry Association of America. The RIAA plans to sue the students for copyright infringement after they allegedly downloaded music on peer-to-peer music sharing programs such as Limewire.
7 students have already settled independently, paying between $3,000 and $5,000 each.
