University can’t ID all accused students.

Tracking down 20 Vanderbilt University students the recording industry targeted for alleged illegal downloads has been tougher than expected for university officials.

As of Thursday, the university had identified only four of them.

But this fall, Vanderbilt students may have a way to legally download music and videos.

The campus is “almost ready to announce an agreement with a company to provide free music and video to students beginning with the fall semester,” said Michael Schoenfeld, Vanderbilt’s vice chancellor for public affairs.

In the wake of lawsuits by the Recording Industry Association of America, several U.S. campuses are providing such a service.
