RIAA explains how it catches piracy on campus

The Chronicle of Higher Education has an article describing how the RIAA finds unlicensed copies of songs on college campuses.

From the article:

He also said the group does not single out specific colleges in its investigations.

The demonstration was given by an RIAA employee who would speak only on condition of anonymity because of concern that he would receive hate e-mail.
