Comment They can't target specific institutions? (Score 1) 280
The article states:
"We have no capability of targeting any school at all," said the RIAA representative, who argued that there is a large "misperception" among university administrators that individual colleges are being picked on. "Technically we can't do it. We find what we find with this process, and that's what we send to schools."
If an institution has a Class B IP address range that they distribute to their students (as the college I went to does), can't Media Sentry just build in their little script to target known institutions?
Say Pirate University has a class B range 155.50.0.0 - 155.50.255.255, shouldn't they be able to flag when they find an IP in that range?
Once they've found out the IP range through their WhoIs search, I think they technically COULD target institutions, under specific circumstances.
