UWEC to release names after RIAA subpoenas (UW-EC Spectator)

Fifty-three “John Doe” subpoenas issued Tuesday against the UW System will force the System to give up the names of students the Recording Industry Association of America says have illegally downloaded music, a UW-Madison official said.

Brian Rust, communications manager for Madison’s Division of Information Technology, said Wednesday that 16 of the students are from Madison, but he could not confirm any numbers from any other UW schools.
