BLACKSBURG — Three dozen Virginia Tech students have received warning letters this month from the Recording Industry Association of America about alleged illegal music downloads.
The letters, described by the association as “pre-litigation settlement letters” were among 407 the association sent out this month to students at 18 universities nationwide.
The flurry of letters is the “12th wave” of an initiative to crack down on illegal downloads, according to the association, which works on behalf of record companies.
Tech is advising students to consider getting legal counsel before responding to the letters.
