Music Industry Tightens Squeeze On Students

MUSIC INDUSTRY TIGHTENS SQUEEZE ON STUDENTS
[SOURCE: Washington Post, AUTHOR: Mike Musgrove]
The recording industry is dusting off an old tactic in its never-ending effort to crack down on pirated music: Target the college kids. So far this year, the music industry's trade group has sent out hundreds of complaints to students, pressured school administrators to take tougher anti-piracy measures and tried shaming colleges into doing better by putting out a list of the top offending schools. Yesterday, the recording industry trade group took its complaints about illegal music downloading to the House Judiciary Committee, saying progress at U.S. campuses has been too slow. The Recording Industry Association of America claims that more than half of college students acquire music illegally.
