RIAA Suing Again:

After the Supreme Court ruling the other day, we knew it was just a matter of time before the RIAA legal team reared its ugly head. The RIAA has filed 784 new lawsuits against people sharing music over P2P networks. With that many lawsuits filed at once, the RIAA must’ve been preparing way ahead of time for these rulings. Thanks to Blair for the link.

The suits cite the individuals for illegally distributing copyrighted music online using peer-to-peer services like Grokster, KaZaa and LimeWire. The litigations were filed in federal district courts in several states, including California, New York and Virginia.
