NEWS: Two Schools Fight Back Against RIAA

There has been an interesting turn of events in the RIAA vs college students battle of late. Apparently two of the colleges with students being sued have decided to fight back in their own ways. The University of Wisconsin has said that it refuses to divulge the names of the students being sought. It will only comply if the RIAA gets a subpoena from a judge to divulge the information. Even more interesting is the University of Nebraska who cannot comply because their IP addresses are reset each month leaving no way of identifying the students in question. Apparently that answer isn't good enough for the RIAA considering a spokesperson criticized the university for not keeping this information. Obviously upset with the criticism and the nagging the University of Nebraska has demanded that the RIAA pay them for their wasted time in this case. Hopefully other universities will follow suit in defending their students from the clutches of the RIAA and their cronies.
