lithorn writes "RIAA filed lawsuits against four college students for allegedly operating file sharing hubs on campus networks. The students are at Princeton, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), and Michigan Technological University; but details are still somewhat sketchy. RIAA apparently found their names by reading campus newspapers. The Washington Post has the story here. Newsday has some additional details here."

Joe Barillari, a computer science student studying under Prof. Ed Felten, posted an analysis on his blog of the lawsuit filed by the RIAA against a Princeton college student for running "Napster-like" networks. He argues that the case doesn't quite live up to its contributory infringement claim due to limitations in the DMCA.
