RIAA targets college students, again
The RIAA warns it will go after college students with a renewed vigor, and indeed the organization has sent letters to hundreds of students at 13 U.S. universities in recent weeks demanding a steep financial settlement and warning students of coming federal lawsuits if settlements aren't addressed quickly and paid in full. The average cost of defending against an RIAA lawsuit ranges into the tens of thousands of dollars, even though evidence of any wrong-doing presented may be flimsy at best.

Good link for what to do (as a University) if this happens from Recording Industry vs. The People:

Just think how much better off the world would be with a federal loser-pays clause...

I am wrong in having the impression that the RIAA pulls it's stunts on Fridays to lessen the noise their nonsense will generate?!
In any case, the RIAA lawsuits are soon going to be a thing of the past when people catch on to ENCRYPTED file sharing. The one I recommend is GigaTribe ( http://www.gigatribe.com ), and there's plenty of other encrypted peer to peer solutions that are popping up as well!

If I ever were sent a letter for an order to send them a settlement, I'd send them $15, and write a letter:
Dear RIAA,
Enclosed is the dollar amount of a CD. If this isn't a truly justified payment, I don't know what is.
Until the next time, I remain yours,

Oh, Ben G., thanks for the link. That's a bookmark.
