By the numbers, the recording industry is targeting the University of Nebraska-Lincoln student body as it tries to stop students from illegally downloading music.
The Recording Industry Association of America said it plans to sue 25 more UNL students, meaning that 61 UNL students, more than at any other U.S. university, have now run afoul of the music business and must agree to pay a pre-lawsuit settlement or battle in court if tracked down.
The RIAA said it potentially will file 805 lawsuits nationwide, which leaves around eight percent to UNL.
"I can't emphasize enough we do not target individual university populations." "It is the music theft we are going after," said Jenni Engebretsen, RIAA spokeswoman.
"The recording industry can pick and choose who they prosecute. I continue to believe that our students have a no better or worse record than any other students in the country with respect to downloading music," said UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman.
Is the music industry targeting UNL? Does UNL do more damage to profits than other industries? What do you think? How do you feel? Of course you have an opinion, so go ahead-share here!

Ideal Perception is a band made up of three guys from Nebraska who play for their love of music and their fans. They recorded their first album, "Welcome To Hollywood" in the spring of 2006 and plan to go on tour in the summer of 2007. They are always ready to play music for their fans everywhere and anywhere.

The problem with this isn't whether or not music was downloaded with out permission or purchase because I can borrow a cd from a friend listen to it and give it back without committing a crime. The real issue is whether or not these students actually caused finacial damage to the music industry and how much. If I download the latest Fall Out Boy cd (which kicks ass!) and enjoy it to the point where I want to see them in concert, but I wasn't willing to shell out $12 to Best Buy for the cd then what damage has really been done? Now I am willing to spend $35 to see them live and approximately one third of that will go to the band where if I only bought the cd less than 1% would go to the band. Anyone else care to rant...
Good thinking. That is an interesting perspective indeed.
Why are the music people so into sueing. Movies are downloaded more frequently than anything else. Does anyone care about that?
Yea, but people still go to the movies when they first come out in the theater. Do you really think movies are downloaded more than music???

One question at a time please. It doesn't matter if movies are downloaded more frequently than music. The point is; more damage is done from downloading a movie than downloading music! If I see a movie on my computer for free and it sucks (like smokin' aces) I'm not going to waste money on it in the theater or on dvd. However if I liked the movie I saw for free I'm still not going to see it in the theater becuase I've already seen it. And probably wont buy the DVD unless it was really amazing or had some super special features. But if I downloaded a cd and really liked it I would want to see the band live, buy a shirt, and possibly a sticker to post on a random persons car. Now do you see the difference anonymous person #2 who posts responses three at a time. Come on is that really necessary?
That's a good point. But I think the availability of music is much greater and many more people are downloading it. There are very few people who will sit in a room all by themselves watching a crapy camcorder version of the latest blockbuster to avoid paying the $8 in the theater. But the day a new cd hits the stores it's on the web for all to hear. The bulk of the illegal movie downloading doesn't start until the dvd is nearly ready to hit the shelves.
Hello this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use
WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
