At least one UW-Eau Claire student has accepted a settlement offer as the Recording Industry Association of America continues to crack down on illegal music downloading on college campuses.
Freshman Courtney Dokkestul, who received a letter during the first round of notifications, said she has accepted a settlement offer for a principal amount of $3,000.
“At first I thought it was a joke,” Dokkestul said, adding she still hasn’t decided whether to go with a six-month payment plan for $3,250 or a 12-month plan for a total of $3,500.
