In a new legal campaign launched today against illegal peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is offering college and university students a chance to settle before they get sued...

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a longtime critic of the music industry's P2P lawsuits, quickly countered that the RIAA's campaign is doomed.

"It's not a particularly good strategy," Rebecca Jeschke, the EFF's media relations coordinator, told internetnews.com. "The kids will move on to other technologies."
