There are hundreds of college students that are being sued over downloading music from the internet rather than paying for the CDs from a store. The ones that are being caught are the ones that are using the university online system to download the music. But what about the college students that do not use the university system and download music, how would they get caught?

This is occurring at more than 60 college campuses across the country who have received letters from the recording industry group, threatening a lawsuit if they don't settle out of court.

"Any student on any campus in the country who is illegally downloading music may receive one of these letters in the coming months," said Jenni Engebretsen, an RIAA spokeswoman. Pay $3,000 — $7.87 per song. I would rather go get the CD than get involved with this.
