Sophomore Liz Hutchison is one of a growing number of UW students who doesn’t download music illegally. She pays for every song she downloads.
“I know I won’t get into any trouble or have any problems with my computer,” she said.
It’s a smart decision. A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the UW must cooperate with lawyers from the music industry. The university must hand over the names, phone numbers, and addresses of as many as 53 students the music industry’s lawyers suspect of downloading copyrighted music illegally.
