...years ago, when the RIAA asked Harvard to join other universities in a cooperative effort to track down file-sharers using on-campus networks, Nesson received attention for co-signing a letter with a Berkman colleague decrying the perceived attempt at encroachment on internet usage and publicly telling the RIAA to “take a hike.” Even earlier, in the fall of 2003, when the RIAA announced that they would start suing hundreds of individual file-sharers for their activities, Nesson began thinking about representing a Harvard student, but was unable to find one affected...
