From http://www.boston.com/news/daily/22/mit_bc.htm:

  Boston College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, citing
  concerns about student privacy, moved yesterday to quash subpoenas
  issued by the recording industry to discover the identities of
  students the industry says are illegally distributing copyrighted
  music.

Yay MIT for standing up to the RIAA, I think...
