Berkeley, University of California ? San Diego, University of Massachusetts ? Amherst, University of Pittsburgh and University of Southern California.
Statistics (of dubious veracity) are given:
Combined, the students being sued have illegally distributed more than 1.5 million total files, including more than 930,000 songs.
