Some Purdue Internet Users To Receive Letters From RIAA
(WEST LAFAYETTE) - 47 more users of the Purdue University internet network soon will begin receiving letters of threatened legal action from the Recording Industry Association of America.
In an effort to enforce music copyright, the association is harvesting internet addresses of computers that allegedly offered music for others to download illegally. It then is asking internet service providers to forward letters to alleged violators offering the option of paying a settlement fee or facing possible legal action.
As an internet service provider, Purdue will forward these letters when the user can be accurately identified. The university forwarded 37 settlement offers last semester.
Purdue will not voluntarily provide names to the RIAA. However, should those notified choose not to pay the settlement, the RIAA may obtain court-ordered subpoenas to obtain the individuals' names.
