Top 25 colleges handing out piracy notices

Wow, so I'm still not worried about getting "caught" for downloading the tv shows we pay for (somewhere around 14.7GB a month), but I thought it was interesting to see that our sister college, UMass Amherst is number 6 on the list of most copyright infringement notices passed out during this school year so far. Below are the stats the RIAA released today about their notices.
