The RIAA List of 25

It seems that the RIAA is trying to shame universities into curtailing their student's P2P/file sharing habits through releasing a list of the 25 top offenders. However, our friends over at Ars have an interesting take on Purdue's spot at number 2

Purdue, on the other hand, seems to be taking the "don't worry, be happy" approach to sitting pretty at the number two spot. The school almost never even notifies the students—of copyright infringement. Purdue spokesman Steve Tally told the Associated Press, "In a sense, the (complaint) letter is asking us to pursue an investigation and as the service provider we don't see that as our role." This attitude expresses either extreme pompousness on Purdue's part or extreme ignorance. Is that not the whole reason why the RIAA cannot pursue potential infringers individually? The students are currently allowed to hide behind the ISP—in this case, the university—with the understanding that the ISP will investigate infringement accusations.
