RIAA names and shames "pirate universities"

OHIO Purdue, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the University of Tennessee and the University of South Carolina have been named and shamed as safe harbours for student pirates.

According to Associated Press, the RIAA has complained about almost 15,000 students at 25 universities, nearly triple the number for the previous school year.

Under federal law, universities have to do something to stop repeat offenders or else the schools can be sued.

One University complained that the RIAA was asking it to perform investigations into the lives of its students. It didn't really see this at its job and the role was made harder by having "thousands and thousands of curious and talented technology students."
