The RIAA says it's done suing individuals that share music files illegally. Instead, the group will focus on large-scale abusers and file-sharing services. In its place, the RIAA expects ISPs to police their users. CNET News' Greg Sandoval tells us the implications for the RIAA's policy change.

Also on today's podcast: Electronic Arts lays off more, Apple is sued over patents related to Apple TV, major cables carrying Internet traffic between the U.S. Middle East and Africa are damaged, and a look at what Dell may have up its sleeve.
