Unfortunately for the little guy, it's hard to win them all. In fact, it's hard to win period against the RIAA, as 53 students at UW-Madison may soon find out. Recently, a federal judge found in favor of the RIAA as they requested the names and other information of 53 potential filesharers. While none of them have yet been served, we all know the RIAA is not above going after financially strapped students. Things such as names, addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and MAC addresses are being released. The University, to its credit, stood up to the RIAA initially. Now, however, it'll be in the hands of each individual student to decide whether or not they settle or take it to court.
