pushing back against the RIAA and is refusing to forward on the organization's new
"pre-settlement" letters to college students without a proper subpoena.
"These settlement letters are an attempt to short circuit the legal process to rely on universities to be their legal agent," says
a spokesman for the University.
"We do not want to be a party to that; we are not the legal agent for the recording agency, nor do we aspire to (be)."
