Unlike the University of Wisconsin, which
refuses to rat out its students to the RIAA, the University of Nebraska is playing along with the recording industry's efforts to sue people for piracy. But if the RIAA wants Nebraska's help, they'll need to pay up.
The university has estimated that each complaint - basically a warning that a computer on the UNL campus is being used to pirate music - costs about $11 to process, Weir said. So the university wants to be paid for its trouble. Wiltse's letter to the Denver firm representing the RIAA asked the recording industry to reimburse NU for the cost of finding the offending students.
