The Recording Industry Association of America has fired off a new round of lawsuits against 725 people, identified only by their Internet addresses, who are suspected of pirating copyright-protected music files. But in a shift from its usual practice, the industry group did not identify any campus-network users in the new batch of suits.
Earlier in April, music and movie studios sued 405 computer users on college networks, accusing them of illegally swapping files on i2hub, a file-sharing application that operates on Abilene, Internet2’s high-speed research network. For more on the i2hub lawsuits, see an article from The Chronicle by Brock Read.
