The president of Michigan Technical University responds to the RIAA in the lawsuit against one of its students. The student was accused of file sharing and faces billions of dollars demanded by the RIAA. In a letter to the RIAA, Curtis J. Tompkins comes just short of accusing the recording agency of bad faith, pointing out that it abandoned its own process in this case. "You have obviously known about this situation with Joe Nievelt for quite some time. Had you followed the previous methods established in notification of a violation, we would have shut off the student and not allowed the problem to grow to the size and scope that it is today."
