RIAA sues 750 more users
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) filed copyright infringement lawsuits Thursday against 757 individuals, including one Princeton student, who allegedly engaged in music piracy, the record industry trade group said.
According to the University, the individual has been notified.
This announcement follows Wednesday’s news that the RIAA was planning to subpoena the University for information on a student allegedly engaged in illegal file-sharing. The RIAA must now wait for the judge assigned to the “John Doe” lawsuit to issue a subpoena before it can approach the University.
Thursday’s litigation brings to 30 the total number of Princeton students sued by the RIAA, following the 25 federal copyright lawsuits filed against University students last April.
This latest round of lawsuits takes aim at individuals illegally distributing copyrighted music online via peer-to-peer services such as Grokster, Kazaa, eDonkey and Limewire, as well as students using the file-sharing application i2hub to trade music on Internet2, a high-powered research network operated by universities and affiliated institutions nationwide.
