UW Won’t Forward RIAA Settlement Letters To Students

MADISON, Wis. — University of Wisconsin officials said on Thursday that the school won’t deliver settlement letters to students it received from a recording industry group.

University officials received 16 letters from the Recording Industry Association of America, a music industry lobby group, on Thursday morning. The letters target 16 students suspect of downloading or sharing music illegally, WISC-TV reported.

A UW spokesman said that the school has decided it will not comply with the RIAA’s desire for the letters to be forwarded to the students.
