For the second time this year, the recoding industry has filed lawsuits against people it claims have been illegally sharing music on the Internet.
This time, however, the Recording Industry Association of America warned alleged violators in advance that they were being sued, urging them to settle their cases before taking them to court. According to Wired News, the music group reached settlements with 124 people, who agreed to pay $3,000 each.
“The fact that the overwhelming majority of those who received the notification letter contacted us and were eager to resolve the claims is another clear signal that the music community’s education and enforcement campaign is getting the message out,” RIAA president Cary Sherman said in a statement.
