A story from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer indicates more resistance, maybe even growing resistance, to the RIAA strategy of going after students through the institution they attend. Here's the lead:

The University of Washington is evaluating reports that 16 students illegally downloaded music on campus computers, and officials say they won't pass along letters from the Recording Industry Association of America asking for thousands of dollars until they can identify the students at fault.

The story mentions that the University of Oregon is doing the same thing, not just taking the RIAA's word with regard to the "John Doe" chargings. Here's hoping more colleges and universities will do the same. For those who don't know, Bow Down to Washington! is my alma mater's fight song. Happy New Year everyone!
