No word on whether the film studios are planning to compensate university officials for the work involved in tracking down students who allegedly share illicit copies of movies and videos.

And even if you find the computer, you have to be a bit careful about accusing the owner of an illegal act. University officials, unlike film studios, must follow due process and law.
