The RIAA Sues 482 More People

Posted by timothy on from the befriending-the-youth dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Today the RIAA said they have sued another group of people, 482 to be exact, for copyright infringement. The RIAA used their 'John Doe' litigation process in this round of law suits, because they do not know the names of the copyright infringers. After appeals court ruled that Verizon does not have to provide names of customers to the RIAA, the RIAA started using the 'John Doe' litigation process."

    "Perhaps a national 'pirate tax', beacuse you know, EVERYONE is doing it, right?"

    Like the tax on "music" CD-R's?

    Plus, weren't they trying to get a similar tax on ALL digital storage?
