UPDATE: Ohio University Students Sued

As promised, the RIAA begun its string of university based lawsuits in the humble state of Ohio. Fifty Ohio University students were served lawsuits based on their university e-mail accounts. All of these can be settled for a "mere" $3,000. This might sound ridiculous but in fact it could be a generous offer when each copyright infringing song offered via p2p can be legally worth $750. For example, one Ohio University student had 787 music files shared illegally making their case worth over $600,000 if settled in court.
