Music Industry Files 2,000 More Lawsuits
View at Sci-tech Today
A new wave of lawsuits has swept across Europe as a global industry group seeks to shut down file-sharing networks and encourage legal purchases of online music.
The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) filed about 2,000 suits in 10 countries. The move brings the overall number of suits filed by the group to 5,500 in 18 countries.
That number does not include the U.S., where the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) operates. Considered a sister organization to its European kin, the RIAA has filed about 18,000 lawsuits since it began its enforcement actions against music pirates.
