NEWS: Only One Fourth of Students Threatened By RIAA Pay

Apparently, of the 400 or so students sued only around 100 of them have responded to the RIAA's threats against them. As seen in the Merchant case, these letters have no legal weight and most students recognize this. It's still to be seen how the RIAA will respond to this non-reaction. If they can identify students to IP addresses and can confirm they are the ones sharing the music, the lawsuits they could create would be disastrous. Only time will tell if the RIAA's bite is as big as its bark.
