I heard of a recent situation at the University of Rochester.
From what I understand, a student that had recently graduated got on the library's computer and used a program called Bittorrent. ...
unless you have a link to a newspaper article or other story about this, I'd take this with a few pinches of salt. People have been sued in civil court for using file-sharing, but I doubt there's been criminal prosecution for just that. If there was an arrest perhaps it was due to something else like sharing stolen credit card info, etc.
