MPAA, RIAA warn College of file sharers

|

The battle over file sharing on campus networks continues to rage, as the Recording Industry Association of America and the Motion Picture Association of America have sent letters expressing concern about illegal file sharing to College President James Wright. The letters, received mid-April, do not signal a new wave of lawsuits, but contained internet protocol addresses of 21 network users suspected of illegal file sharing, and requested that users cease such activity. While the College typically receives approximately 25 so-called takedown notices each month containing the IP addresses of suspected file sharers, the two latest letters differ in several key ways, most importantly that they were sent directly to Wright, rather than the usual recipient, Ellen Young, the College's Digital Millennium Copyright holder. RIAA President Cary Sherman and MPAA President Dan Glickman additionally both personally expressed concerns about file sharing over the College network to Wright in their respective letters.
