The MPAA has decided to “copy” the RIAA’s List Of Top 25 Music Piracy Schools, and release their own Top 25 List Of Movie Piracy Schools. If some of the schools mentioned in this list look familiar, it’s because 10 of these schools were dishonored on the RIAA’s list as well, with Purdue University taking the highest average rank in the two lists.
Number of “dishonor roll” students identified who are making unauthorized use of copyrighted material according to the MPAA:
- Columbia University – 1,198
- University of Pennsylvania – 934
- Boston University – 891
- University of California at Los Angeles – 889
- Purdue University – 873
- Vanderbilt University – 860
