503 pre-litigation settlements letters have been sent to 58 different Universities from the RIAA.
These letters are part of the RIAA’s education and deterrence campaign that is focusing on illegal file sharing on college campuses. This campaign offers students a chance to settle copyright infringement claims against them at a discounted rate. If the students choose not to participate… formal lawsuits will be filed.
Since February, the RIAA has sent 2,926 of these pre-litigation settlement letters to university students.
