Music Industry to Sue Hundreds of Internet2 Users by TheMusicPirate on 04-13-2005 at 12:38 PM
The Recording Industry Association of America announced late yesterday that it will be filing suits against 405 students who used the super-fast “Internet2” connection to download and distribute pirated music amongst 18 different colleges.
“Internet2” is a network set-up being used by colleges to research the next generation Internet. When initially demonstrated, the creators of the network downloaded a DVD-quality copy of “The Matrix” in just thirty seconds.
The suits will be filed today. The Motion Picture Association of America also announced that it will be filing federal suits against Internet2 users, but failed to disclose an official figure. Internet2 is not widely accessible to the public.

RE: Music Industry to Sue Hundreds of Internet2 Users by marissa on 04-13-2005 at 08:53 PM
hm, i wish i had internet2 for just that reason...i mean...those bad bad people 
RE: Music Industry to Sue Hundreds of Internet2 Users by WDZ on 04-14-2005 at 04:29 AM
Hmm... I remember reading this news, but not this thread... oh right, Neowin... 
I was surprised that the download times were so short... either they were downloading from other Internet2 users, or from many regular peers at once (well-seeded torrent maybe)... 
I wouldn't want Internet2 unless I got some new 200gb hard drives...

Just something to share to all of you.
I just read my school newspaper today, and I found out that there were 20+ students in my school who would get the suits.
The connection is so fast because it has a closed nature of environment, just like LAN connection in your house, except this has a wider range, which is school.
Students think that nobody will have access to get the info who share files and so on.
In my newspaper, the publisher of i2hub defended themselves that the purpose of this file-sharing program was to share lecture notes, homework assignment, etc., but it was misused to share copyrighted files.
So Pipish, wait 'til at least 4 years to get the connection
