Recording industry sues more U.S. file-swappers

Last week the recording industry filed its latest round of copyright infringement lawsuits, targeting 754 people in the United States that it claims used online file-sharing networks to illegally trade in music, Reuters reported.

The lawsuits were filed in federal district courts across the country, including California, Colorado, Georgia, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

The world’s major record labels, represented by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), have filed more than 14,000 such lawsuits since September 2003.
