By now, both UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee have received letters from the RIAA and not forwarded them to the students. I got this tingling feeling when I was reading the latest article
about this - not all hope is lost. This is not about harbouring those that engage in copyright infringement at any rate, but by following due process when it comes to law. Which is something the RIAA has been permitted to more or less afford thus far because many people got scared when they were bullied.

I think the worst approach, however, is taken by those students that decide to go ahead and settle with the RIAA - this gives the multi-corporate an incentive to continue with their extortion of random individuals. Luckily, more and more people begin to understand what is going on and countering with their own offensive [check out my del.icio.us feed for a recent example.] Maybe soon enough somebody will really drag them through court and get this fixed once and for all. Then, maybe, some of those that have been bullied - have they not been forced to sign a waiver stating otherwise - can engage in a class action lawsuit against the RIAA and drill them back of at least twice the amount they’ve racketeered so far.

Or, sure, somebody could handle it differently…
