Officials at the Naval Academy have seized nearly 100 midshipmen’s computers that allegedly contained illegally downloaded music and movies, sources said.
The raid occurred Thursday while students were in class, and a source familiar with the investigation said the computers were being held by the administration.
Amanda Collins, a spokesman for the Recording Industry Association of America, said yesterday that the Naval Academy was among the colleges and universities around the country that were sent two letters from entertainment industry and educational associations asking them to address Internet piracy and establish policies against it.
For the RIAA – there are no half measures: you’re either with them, or against them. So even if you’re risking having your ass blown off for your country, there’s no mercy.
