RIAA Sues Student

Measly by industry standards, that is.  Jesse Jordon, however, says it was his life savings.  KNAC.com reports that:

"Jesse knew students were sharing files on his network:  pictures, PowerPoint presentations, physics notes, anime, and music.  But he refutes the RIAA's claim he "hijacked an academic network" and "installed an emporium for music trading.  They agreed to allow Jesse to deny their allegations.  [The RIAA] agreed to dismiss the case and all allegations against him," Andy said.  "Basically they agreed that he didn't do anything wrong, but [they're] taking his 12 grand."

I can see both sides of the file sharing issue, but the RIAA's handling of it leaves much to be desired.
