NEWS IN BRIEF
Music industry files
80 lawsuits
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
recording industry filed 80 more
federal lawsuits around the country
Thursday against computer users it
said were illegally sharing music
files across the Internet.
Those 80 people were among
204 who had been threatened with
lawsuits earlier this month by the
Washington-based Recording
Industry Association of America
unless they contacted the trade
association to discuss a financial
settlement.
The RIAA said the remaining 124
people had approached music
industry lawyers about settling the
claims.
The group previously filed law
suits against 261 others. It said
Thursday it has reached settle
ments with 156 people, who
defense lawyers have said agreed
to pay penalties ranging from
$2,500 to $7,500 each.
Such settlements require Internet
users to destroy copies of illegally
downloaded songs and agree to
“not make any public statements
that are inconsistent” with the
agreement.
Still, with tens of millions of
Internet users in the United States
using file-sharing software to trade
songs, odds remain exceedingly
long that a particular user will be
sued by the music industry.
The RIAA has promised that hun
dreds or even thousands more law
suits will be filed.
