The RIAA has sued four college students: two at RPI, one at Princeton
and one at Michigan Tech.  The complaint is that the students ran 
a program to make indexes of what was available on their local
networks through Microsoft Windows filesharing -- essentially 
automating the process of looking up this public information.
 
The RIAA compares this to Napster; the Cnet story points out that 
the students are not providing the software which exchanges the files,
as Napster did.  Any file trading is done on through the standard
Windows software.
