Free downloads have never cost so much.Since last August, 84 University of Connecticut students, along with many others from Yale, Fairfield University, and Trinity College, have received letters from attorneys representing several major record companies threatening heavy fines and legal action against the students, who have allegedly downloaded music illegally using the school’s Internet server.The letters state, “You have been infringing copyrights owned by the Record Companies.”
The correspondence, obtained this week by The Day and addressed Jan. 9 from the Denver-based law firm Holme, Roberts and Owen, goes on to say that the students had 20 days “to settle the claims for a significantly reduced amount.”
