Music Downloaders can Relax as RIIA Backs off the court cases.


In a surprise about-face, the Recording Industry Association of America RIIA said Friday that it will no longer pursue its controversial legal strategy of filing large numbers of lawsuits against individuals for alleged MUSIC PIRACY. But the trade group isn't throwing in the towel on its antipiracy campaign. In a brief document explaining its decision, the RIAA said it now plans to work more closely with ISPs to identify alleged copyright infringers and try to persuade them to stop.



Under the so-called graduated response program, the RIAA would notify participating ISPs when it discovers customers of theirs that are engaging in what it claims are illegal downloading activities.
