Why should UGA students stop downloading music illegally?
It is illegal! But, many students don’t realize how easy it is for the RIAA to find them on a college network and how expensive even settling out of court can be. Pre-litigation settlements usually still cost students somewhere between $2,000 and $6,000. On top of that, there are so many great legal alternatives now, that there is really no reason not to switch to a safer, equally as good–and most importantly legal–way to get your music.
