The Recording Industry Association of America said it intended to sue more students and others on campuses in the next three months than it has in the past three years.
The trade group said it would send 400 letters a month to computer users suspected of copyright infringement.
The letters targeted students at Arizona State University; Marshall University; North Carolina State University; North Dakota State University; Northern Illinois University; Ohio University; Syracuse University; University of Massachusetts, Amherst; University of Nebraska, Lincoln; University of South Florida; University of Southern California; University of Tennessee, Knoxville; and University of Texas, Austin.
