I concur that this should just be a wrist slap.

But, unfortunately, they are being threatened with major legal action and penalties by Hollywood and the rest of the industry. Colleges just can't afford to let such stuff happen.

Just last week, a colleague's cousin (age 17) was sued in federal court for a violation of such laws. "Cuz" claimed she only downloaded ~20 songs....perhaps. Nevertheless, the plaintiff is seeking damages of $30,000.
