The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has announced that it plans to end lawsuits against people who illegally download music. In a statement, the RIAA now declares that it will instead team up with Internet service providers to prevent music piracy, something they should have done a long time ago already. The RIAA is convinced that this alternative approach will have a significant impact. The RIAA will however pursue lawsuits that have already been filed, but will not file new suits.
So how will their new approach differ from the previous not so successful one? The RIAA will issue warnings through ISPs to those who download music illegally. If users fail to heed warnings, their Internet service may be disconnected. Since 2003, the music industry filed approximately 35,000 music piracy lawsuits.
