Recording Industry Plans to Accelerate Complaints About Illegal File Sharing - SCOTT CARLSON, the Chronicle

The recording industry plans to increase the number of complaints that it lodges with colleges over allegations of file sharing that violates copyright law, an entertainment-industry official said last week. Cary H. Sherman, president and general counsel of the Recording Industry Association of America, announced the new push in an e-mail message to the president of Pennsylvania State University at University Park, Graham B. Spanier. The message preceded the first meeting of a committee of recording-industry representatives and university administrators, who are trying to hammer out differences on copyright law and develop ways to deter illegal file sharing through peer-to-peer, or "P2P," networks and other means.
