The Recording Industry Association of America today is issuing subpoenas to 405 John and Jane Doe college students over the mis-use of 930,000 media files. Internet2 is an academic research net that runs at 100 Mbs fast Ethernet LAN speeds. That means a DVD can be swapped during a bio break.
Needless to say, the media industry is none too pleased. I expect the RIAA's friends in Congress will go apoplectic about the mis-use of I2, a publicly funded net.
Stay tuned, folks, to the saga of emerging Internet content use law.
