In its continuous effort to be bigger douche bags, the RIAA recently released a list of the top piracy schools in the country. Topping the index were Ohio University, Purdue, and the University of Nebraska—the latter of which was cited for only pirating country music, seriously (not really).
There is a total of 25 schools represented on the list and all of them should be very much ashamed of themselves. Strangely underrepresented amongst the show were southern schools and California (Kaaal-ee-forn-eya) schools. Guess they need to get work.
Anyway, here is the full list:
1. Ohio University – 1,287
2. Purdue University – 1,068
3. University of Nebraska at Lincoln – 1,002
