got their hands on a list of schools from the MPAA which shows the amount of unauthorized use of copyrighted materials at these schools.
A number of schools have the dubious distinction of being on both the MPAA and the RIAA list. The overachievers are: Ohio University (#1 RIAA/#18 MPAA), Purdue University (#2, #5), University of Nebraska at Lincoln (#3/#13), UMASS (#6/#9), Michigan State (#7/#20), North Carolina State (#9/#14), University of South Florida (#11/#23), Boston University (#15/#3), and the University of Michigan (#18/#10). In all, 10 schools appear on both lists, and Purdue University wins the Gold Medal for highest overall ranking between the two combined.
Here's the top 25:
- Columbia University - 1,198
- University of Pennsylvania - 934
- Boston University - 891
- University of California at Los Angeles - 889
