Princeton students fundraising to pay off RIAA fines
Delwin Olivan is an 18-year-old Princeton student who is being extorted by the RIAA to the tune of $5,000 as punishment for being caught promoting music by sharing it on the Internet. His fellow Princetonians have founded the Free Delwin group, which is fundraising to help pay off his settlement. It's a goddamned shame that the money they raise will end up going to the music mafiyeh, but it's heartening to see students pulling together to save one of their own, and it sure does make the music industry look like a pack of bullies.
