Last week, the MPAA announced they supported the "Curb Illegal Downloading on College Campuses Act (2007)," and MPAA head Dan Glickman said that the group was set to begin working with schools and administrators to put an end to movie piracy on University campuses.
The MPAA has compiled a list of American schools that make their so called "dishonor roll" and included the amount of students identified as downloading unauthorized movies.
A few schools had the distinction of being on the RIAA and MPAA's lists with Purdue having the highest combined numbers on both lists.
The question now moves on to how aggresive the MPAA will be and whether they will follow the RIAA into suing thousands of users, even if they are 8 years old or deceased.
