The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) this week continued its legal campaign against online file-traders using peer-to-peer (P2P) song-swapping programs, taking legal action against another 482 individuals across the country in a handful of lawsuits. The RIAA, which now has taken legal action against more than 3,400 people since suits began last September, has settled with approximately 600 of those individuals, who are not being named in the latest round of so-called “John Doe” cases, where the identity of the alleged infringer is not disclosed until there is a hearing.
