Recording Industry To Hunt Down Swappers, Demand Big Bucks

The Recording Industry Association of America wants to go after music file-swappers and fine them – demanding $150,000 from each. “The organisation says it wants to track down the heaviest users of song-swapping services, and then sue them for thousands of dollars in damages. ‘We’re going to begin taking names and preparing lawsuits against peer-to-peer network users who are illegally making available a substantial number of music files to millions of other computer users’.”
