First of all, I *REALLY* have no reason to lie about this.

Second of all, I'm holding the letter in my hand. The first part is the letter they sent to my school, the second part is the letter my school sent me and the third is a page with a bunch of costs and numbers and states a court ate

First of all, here's the letter my school sent me:

Please be advised that the University of West Florida information technology system administrators received the attached notice of claimed infringement. The University's Student Computer Use Policy prohibits students, faculty, and staff from using the University's data netword to download, copy, reproduce, and otherwise distribute copyrighted material.

The University will not intervene or mediate in instances of copyright infringement. It is your sole responsibility as an inividual and not as a student, representative, or affiliate of the University of West Florida.

And the letter NBS Universal sent my school:
