MrSmileyJr writes: "A recent article on MSnbc reports, " Music piracy crackdown nets college kids,
At least 500 students nationwide have paid settlements to avoid being sued."
The article describes how the RIAA requried a settlement of $3000 to avoid a lawsuit. A bit steep for downloading less than 400 songs.... I wonder how many of these lawsuits would have been dismissed without settlement, considering the regular reports on slashdot that the RIAA is fighting a losing battle...."
