Mary Richards reportingThe music industry is threatening to sue over music file sharing at the University of Utah.

It may be too late to apologize at the U of U. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has notified the U that 12 people there illegally shared music files using the U's Internet service.

The industry has asked university officials to forward notices of copyright infringement to those 12 students or employees. The RIAA says it will sue if they don't respond.

The U says it will wait for a subpoena before giving up any contact information.
