I don't know whether this can be considered even a news topic anymore, but more of a regular death toll update for an on-going war. Anyway, Recording Industry Association of America has sued yet another 482 P2P users in the United States for illegally distributing copyrighted music over the P2P networks.
This time the cases were filed in St. Louis (total of 213 cases), Washington D.C. (206 cases), Denver (55 cases) and New Jersey (6 cases). As always since the appeals court order in December, RIAA was forced to sue the users as "John Does" as it can't obtain their identity details before it has sued them.
After these lawsuits, the RIAA jihad has so far dragged 3,429 P2P users to court in the United States.
