Litigations
May 11th, 2008
Cara Duckworth, a professional recording studio spokeswoman, said that the "problem of piracy is disproportionately acute on college campuses" and that the threats of litigation "is a step that is necessary to take. Too many of these students take advantage of these networks."
The professional recording studio hasn't kept all UF students out of trouble, however. Four of them received the same threats of litigation sent to the 124 USF students. The stakes could become more costly for the schools as well as students. The U.S. House recently proposed penalizing colleges and universities a portion of the federal financial aid their students receive unless the schools do more to rein in piracy committed through their computer networks.
