What happens if the RIAA finds a violator on the UGA network?
The RIAA will contact UGA and provide the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of people they have found downloading files illegally on its network. UGA’s policy is to identify the student, faculty or staff member based on the IP address and forward the RIAA’s pre-litigation information to that person. UGA doesn’t release the names to the RIAA; however, if the RIAA subpoenas the names and contact information of the individual, UGA is required by law to provide it.
