Harvard Battles the RIAA

Law students at Harvard have the oppotunity to assist in defense cases against the RIAA according to Ars Technica. Professor Charles Nesson has never agreed with the position of RIAA, that schools are responsible for passing on litigation notices to students behind their IP addresses. His opinion is that it is not up to universities to take responsibilty for propping up the RIAAs outdated business model. Joel Tanenbaum who is up against the RIAA is currently being defended by a student team led by Nesson. The group also want to make the public aware of what´s going on, so that the issue becomes broader than just one man´s defense. If successful it may even force the RIAA into using more reasonable methods rather than the witch hunt and excessive damages they are currently pursuing.
