The music industry has sent hundreds of threatening letters to college students across the nation, including dozens at UC Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz, as part of its campaign against illegal music downloading.

Representing music labels such as Sony and EMI, the Recording Industry Association of America said Wednesday it is going after students who have downloaded pirated music from the Internet at colleges, including UCLA and Columbia, sending more than 400 "prelitigation" letters that order the students to pay a settlement fee or face a lawsuit.
