The RIAA's latest round of "early settlement" letters (part of its anti-filesharing litigation) have targeted a bunch of Ivy League schools. Not including, notably, Harvard.
The group said last week that it has sent letters to Columbia University, Duke University, Dartmouth College, University of Pennsylvania, Yale, Princeton, and Brown University, as part of its continuing battle against music file sharing on campuses...Why skip Harvard? Let's ask Slashdot:
The rest of the 16 campuses include Boston University, Central Michigan University, North Carolina State University, the University of Chicago, the University of Maine system, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, University of Connecticut, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and the University of Texas, Austin.

Nobody in their right mind sues a lawyer assembly plant, coward or not.

... especially when that assembly plant has over $35 billion in liquid assets. Doubly so when it also happens to be the stomping grounds of high-profile personal-rights lawyers like Alan Dershowitz. To keep this amount of money in perspective, the Presidents and Fellows of Harvard could decide to spend less than 3% of the endowment -- not even this year's interest -- and have ONE BILLION DOLLARS to keep the RIAA in court for the next handful of decades.
No, do not disturb the 350-year-old 800-lb gorilla who has lots of friends and big piles of cash.

Harvard could literally buy and sell them. Except that its portfolio managers wouldn't make such a poor investment.• Coverage at p2pnet.net
