Copyright Law

RIAA keeps on filing new cases

By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

I've been receiving reports from around the country of new RIAA cases against individuals being filed. Just for the heck of it I took a look to see whether the RIAA had filed new cases against individuals in April, in the Eastern District of New York and Southern District of New York. I found 1 in the Southern District, 2 in the Eastern District.

So it appears that their representation to Congress that they had "discontinued initiating new lawsuits in August" was a total fabrication.
