One of the most interesting places to find news about filesharing in the US is on the websites of universities. With the onslaught of pre-litigation letters being sent to students for filesharing on campus, uni websites often contain responses to the actions of the RIAA.
The website of Middlebury College contains a story this week about how there have been 90 possible incidents of copyright infringement by filesharing at the college in the past three weeks alone.
The majority of cases involved students looking for free music downloads with filesharing programs like Limewire and Ares. The college has received filesharing infringement notices in the past, but never in as high a volume as it is receiving now.
This signals increased levels of technology and resources being utilized by the RIAA to track down people engaged in filesharing activities. It’s certainly bad news for students across the US.
