The RIAA continues to target university students for file sharing:

George Washington Univ. students next to feel RIAA's wrath (thanks for the link, Nicole).

What is interesting about this case is the procedure the Judge has implemented:
U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly (best known for her role in the Microsoft antitrust trial) granted the RIAA's request to serve the university with an immediate subpoena.

She required that George Washington University to tell its students--or faculty or staff if they're the ones behind the IP addresses in question--about the existence of the subpoenas in five business days.

She also gave the school and any of the John Does 25 days to respond with a legal motion opposing the subpoena. The RIAA had suggested only 15 days.
