i think students need to organize and petition the university to fight this blanket subpoena. the RIAA is going about this in an illegal manner. also if the university wants to stop it they have the technology and resources to prevent it (like OSU does). their incompetence in IT matters is evidenced by the fact that their network has been hacked more than once with vital data being stolen. OU is negligent in the fact that they do not counsel students in the ” do’s and don’ts” of downloading, they just give them a computer and access to a fast network and let tham run free. students pay thousands of dollars to attend their college (along with our tax dollars), the least they can do is educate them as to how to use the computers properly and legally.

A terrible idea just came to mind; what if the RIAA simply assumes students downloading *anything*, en masse, are downloading illegally, for large part.

Innocence would not matter to RIAA; it’s the quantity of downloading which presumes guilt, in their eyes. Unmonitored contents? “They’re students; of course what they are downloading is illegal.” (this writer’s opinion of [the] RIAA mind).

well keeping in the spirit of their wonderfu math (i.e- 1 16x burner = 16 burners).

1 RIAA student rep can do the work of 1000 RIAA employees, (unfortunatly it’s not that hard to screw other people), therefore they represent 2000 layoffs.

“[…]and no longer employs its two student representatives[…]”

any word from RIAA yet if these 2 will be counted also in their next round of press propaganda about “thousands of lay-offs due to piracy”?
