RIAA drops effort to sue song swappers - eSchool News
Marking a shift in its efforts to clamp down on illegal file sharing, the group representing the U.S. music industry says it will only bring lawsuits against college students who are the most egregious violators of music copyrights--but higher-education officials still will be expected to block students' internet access if they use campus networks illegally.
