University of Kentucky bucks the RIAA trend

It looks like a college is taking a stand against the RIAA.  Although The University of Kentucky has been tightened their rules on students downloading copyrighted music and movies they do not plan on forwarding the RIAA’s request for the names of 14 students who are accused of music piracy.

This is not the trend for universities around the country.  Many colleges forward the letters to the “offending” students who the RIAA claims get music for free or at a drastically reduced rate.  Some colleges cite concerns over students’ privacy, but decide to comply with the RIAA anyway.
