Group of American universities and colleges have decided to oppose the way RIAA is trying to get their P2P-using students' identities revealed by using the DMCA law's subpoena clause.
Schools, that include MIT and Boston College, refuse to reveal their students' personal details to RIAA because according to them, federal law states that schools can't reveal their students' personal details without giving a "reasonable notice period" to the students' themselves.
"We are opposing the subpoenas, not in an effort to protect students from the consequences of copyright infringement, but rather to establish the proper procedures to be followed in the future," Boston College's director of public affairs, Jack Dunn, said.
