Record Industry Sues 532 More U.S. File-Sharers

Posted by timothy on from the make-them-watch-scared-straight dept.

Patik writes "The RIAA today issued 532 new subpoenas for music file swapping, many of them college students using their campus networks. They will not say which ISPs or colleges were involved, but that the users were sharing "substantial amounts" of music files. This brings the total number of subpoenas to 1,977. The RIAA has been averaging $3,000 per settlement so far." Readers Digitus1337 and Warpedcow point to stories respectively at Wired and Reuters.

      What, you don't like gay niggers?

      The last person who asked for the GNAA to be deleted was run off AIM, Yahoo messenger, had to change their email and their slashdot username.

      You have been warned.

    Actually, I like to try on a jacket in a store and walk out without paying. Clothes are overpriced to begin with. Besides, one day when I'm rich I will buy lots of stuff from these stores.

    Oh, and don't forget the positive karma when I wear the stolen clothes!! I should get paid!! It's like free advertizing for me to wear my stolen Gap clothes!

    Yeah!!

      (feeding the troll, can't help it)

      Your analogy is bullshit because...
      ... physical items can't be copied at no cost.
      ... many stores let you return items you regret you purchased (provided they can still be sold); unfortunately very few CD stores do.
      ... you can usually tell whether you like certain clothes or not on first sight, while this is impossible for most music (and *all* non-crappy music)
      ... I still pay for everything I keep.
