The WSJ reports that the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is set to drop its strategy of filing lawsuits against individuals who allegedly illegally download music from the internet. Instead it plans to work with internet service providers to discourage people from making illegal downloads, including slowing down their internet service.
This plan is a departure from the mass lawsuits filed against individuals in the past, notably including a 13-year old girl and a dead person.
In a previous post, I wrote about the RIAA cases filed in Boston and how a federal judge had pointed out the huge imbalance that existed between the industry and individuals.
