SeeSp0tRun's Journal: RIAA Notification Email (UMASS)

Got an email from the IT dept. forwarding a message from the RIAA:

Students,
Be advised that the University has recently received several copyright infringement notices from the RIAA and SafeNet DMCA.
Each individual RIAA notice states an account on the University network "was used to reproduce and/or distribute unauthorized copies of one or more copyrighted sound recordings." The notice provides details of the infringement and warns "this network user may be liable for the infringing activity occurring on your network... This letter does not constitute a waiver of any right to recover damages incurred by virtue of any such unauthorized activities, and such rights as well as claims for other relief are expressly retained. Moreover, this letter does not constitute a waiver of our members' right to sue the user at issue for copyright infringement."
The notice also encourages the user to visit the MUSIC Coalition's website at www.musicunited.org.
The SafeNet DMCA notices are similar in nature.
Details provided within the notices will be used to identify students for further action.
All students should discontinue the sharing/copying/downloading of copyrighted material. Safe and legal access to digital music and movies is available through Ruckus.

UMASS is not holding ANY liability whatsoever for the actions on their network, but is rather willingly forwarding student information to the RIAA. Guess the homeless guy's settlement wasn't enough for the RIAA...
