The US Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced on Tuesday that it has filed new lawsuits against 532 internet users in its campaign to stamp out illegal file sharing.
According to the RIAA, 'John Doe' suits have been filed against 89 individuals at 21 universities in Arizona, California, Colorado, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington DC, and Wisconsin.
Additionally, lawsuits were filed against 443 file sharers using ISPs in California, Colorado, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia.
"It's important for everyone to understand that no one is immune from the consequences of illegally 'sharing' music files on P2P networks," president of the RIAA, Cary Sherman announced this week, continuing:
"Piracy, which is particularly rampant on college campuses, continues to hurt retailers, musicians, producers, record labels, and the thousands of less-celebrated individuals involved in making music."
Since its anti-file sharing drive began in earnest in September of last year, the RIAA has filed 1,977 lawsuits altogether.
