A student of MIT (The Massachusetts Institute of Technology) is going to fight back after being threatened and ordered to pay a fine by the RIAA for sharing mp3’s and other types of music over the internet. The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) are renowned for singling out students and single mothers to scrape together the highest amount of money-per-head possible by concentrating on the most vulnerable and most likely to pay. MIT aren’t prepared to back up their student, so he’s decided to go it alone and face the RIAA himself.
