Just saw the RIAA’s top 25 list of universities that have received the most copyright infringement notices, and the MPAA’s version of the same list. An interesting follow-up to the stern warning from Berkeley the student body received a week back.
My alma mater doesn’t make the list, though the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (where I spent much of my middle/high school years) is way up there. Go Vols?
Berkeley isn’t even on the RIAA’s target list, though it does straggle in at #25 on the MPAA list (Stanford barely edges out UCB with 7 more notices). It is not indicative of “which institutions are the worst infringers”, though. Just the ones that have been caught the most, I suppose.
Kind of OT, but I can’t decide whether these trackbacks are spam or not. They’re clearly not coming from posts made by humans, but do these bot-run aggregation sites actually serve a purpose? I don’t even see any advertising on them…
Go Stanford!
