The MPAA recently released a list of the top schools which pirate movies online. UMass got on the list at position 9 out of the top 25 which says something about the level of piracy at the school.

“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.”

The list is ordered by the number of students caught with pirated materials. UMass had 765 students caught with such materials.
