Austin students top filesharing violators

A list of universities around the US that have been targeted by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for rogue students using P2P filesharing services like Omemo and Limewire has been released.

Top of the league of filesharing bandits is the University of Texas at Austin, which received 50 pre-litigation letters to students. Second on the list of filesharing offenders, believe it or not, is Virginia Tech, which received 36 letters from the RIAA.

This most recent crack down on illegal music downloads leaves no territory safe. Also big hitters in terms of filesharing are Arizona State University (33 letters) and the University of California, Berkeley (26 letters).

Students have a hard time when it comes to filesharing. It seems like a standard student activity, to be online chatting with buddies and downloading music, but alas, the world is not that perfect.

In the case of Virginia Tech, a spokesman said that any students caught out for filesharing must deal with the RIAA by themselves.
