The MPAA has released their “dishonor roll”, a list of the top 25 college and university campuses (campii? campusi? I give up!) with the highest number of “confirmed” “illegal” file sharers and, sadly, my alma mater once again failed to make the cut. I blame Farrington’s nefarious influence, even after he departed!
The 25, for those interested, are as follows (with total “confirmed” filesharers listed afterwards):
- Columbia University – 1,198
- University of Pennsylvania – 934
- Boston University – 891
- University of California at Los Angeles – 889
- Purdue University – 873
- Vanderbilt University – 860
- Duke University – 813
- Rochester Institute of Technology – 792
- University of Massachusetts – 765
- University of Michigan – 740
- University of California at Santa Cruz – 714
- University of Southern California – 704
- University of Nebraska at Lincoln – 637
- North Carolina State University – 636
- Iowa State University – 586
- University of Chicago – 575
- University of Rochester – 562
- Ohio University – 550
- University of Tennessee – 527
- Michigan State University – 506
- Virginia Polytechnic Institute – 457
- Drexel University – 455
- University of South Florida – 447
- Stanford University – 405
- University of California at Berkeley – 398
C’mon, people! Drexel is beating you out! I know you can do better. Put that Rossin money to work.
