If it was since sue'em all that seems way to low. if it means since the p2p lawsuits site that is way to high considering it just lunched last month. in the artical it said only 4,oo have fallen for the extortion scheme are they talking about since the entire sue’em all Compain started or since the p2plawsuits website?

Thats what the mail says. No word of "notifying the RIAA about the identity of the individuals designated by RIAA" "them" in this sentence isn't refering to the RIAA or that the identity will be handed to RIAA, but that the Uni identifies the students internally so they can notify them about the already known HRO letter and forward it to the apropriate student. Giving student information to the RIAA without a courtorder is likely wery illegal. And THAT request also wasn't what RIAA asked in the Letter to ISP's. Many commenters in the blogosphere got that one wrong too. RIAA asked back then to save the connection logs longer and to forward the demand letter to the students which identity would still remain only known to the ISP/university as long as the student isn't dumb enough to turn himself in __ Alter_Fritz the guy that posted that story must work on his reading comprehension skills:
