Not that they would, but if the music industry wanted to know whether their lawsuits are working, they would talk to students. "The student also said, 'As long as you don't share any files, there's no way to know what you have.' For the most part, students are a little on edge, but willing to keep downloading songs anyway. Another student said 'Sure it's bad if you get caught, but just about every student is doing it, so it's tough to get caught,'" especially outside the United States. The Chronicle of Higher Education, meanwhile, enters the fray, and given that their article on the subject is behind a subscription barrier, you can figure out pretty easily which side of the issue they're on. As quoted in digital-copyright Digest, Dan Carnevale writes in the article 'No Such Thing as a Free Song' (I guess he hasn't listened to the radio recently), "College students around the country have been given fair warning: Download music in violation of copyright laws, and you may face a lawsuit." I suppose the Chronicle, too, would start suing little old math professors if their articles started circulating through a peer to peer network. Of course, people would actually have to want the articles.
