RIAA takes new shots at Internet2 swappers

The Recording Industry Association of America filed lawsuits against people at 33 university campuses accused of using the high-speed Internet2 network to swap music files, the group said Thursday. The actions follow a first set of lawsuits focusing on this network last month.

The group also said it had filed an additional 649 lawsuits against people making music files available on traditional file-swapping networks.

Has anybody looked at the lawsuits in detail? Are they primarily
going after people who make files available, or do they actually
sue people downloading files. And if so, how do they get away
from issues of entrapment?

Just curious....

Entrapment?

The RIAA isn't the police. They aren't a branch of the government. They can't have entrapment issues, no matter what they do. And even if we were talking about the government here, I don't see you'd have an entrapment argument to begin with.
