RIAA sues 717 file-swappers

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) said Thursday that it had filed 717 new lawsuits against alleged file-swappers, including 68 unnamed people at universities.

The suits come several days after the record label group filed its arguments with the Supreme Court in a case examining the broader legal liability of file-swapping software companies. Movie studios also filed their own second round of lawsuits against individual computer users on Wednesday.

RIAA should be sued for bulling ... stupidity ... all governments should have something imposed on all internet service providers ... that should stipulate a warning when downloading illegal content. Not everything on the internet is illegal ... it is the fault of the music industry for not keeping up with the internet explosion.

Boggity Boggity Boo!!!
