Recording Industry Sues 4 Students for Allegedly Trading Songs Within
College Networks
By SCOTT CARLSON
The Recording Industry Association of America filed lawsuits on
Thursday against four college students who allegedly were offering
access to copyrighted music files within their institutions' networks.
Joseph Nievelt, a student at Michigan Technological University;
Daniel Peng, a student at Princeton University; and Aaron Sherman and
Jesse Jordan, both students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, were
named in separate suits filed in federal district courts in Michigan,
New Jersey, and New York. The institutions were not sued.
According to the complaints, the students have "taken a network
created for higher learning and academic pursuits and converted it
into an emporium of music piracy." In a news release, the recording
industry alleges that the students were engaging in copyright
infringement, each offering from 27,000 to more than a million songs
to other students.
The lawsuits ask for $150,000 for each of the dozens of recordings,
listed by title in the complaint, that the students allegedly used illegally.
