Why does the MPAA & RIAA hate college students?

Posted: Jan.23.2008 01:16 PM

The MPAA and RIAA try to enforce copyrights over movies and music through the DMCA. Downloading a movie or song without paying for it is usually illegal - unless it is actually being given away for free by the owner, like in a promotion or through approved websites. If you use programs to download or share movies or music the MPAA and RIAA can find you and send the campus a "DMCA Notice" that you are violating their copyright. If you continue to break the law they can sue you in court for a LOT of money. The best thing you can do is download your music legally.
