[quote:3c56e]The recording industry has launched a sweeping effort to identify and shut down individual song swappers, making good on recent threats to expand its legal battle against copyright theft.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has now issued more than 911 subpoenas to Internet service providers across the United States, trying to get the names of people still offering music on file-sharing networks such as KaZaA and Grokster.

Today, "Tech Live" brings you the RIAA Hit List, the user names of file traders targeted in the recording industry subpoenas.

Last month, we brought you the story of Jesse Jordan, a 19-year-old college student who became one of the first to be hit with a lawsuit by the RIAA. Jordan settled his case by paying $12,000 to the RIAA.

The following user names were culled from subpoenas filed with the US District Court in Washington, DC. All subpoenas, incidentally, are being served by the Los Angeles law firm of Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp. A total of 253 RIAA subpoenas were listed as of July 22 through the federal court system's paid online database, PACER. The actual subpoenas are available to view online in about half the cases.

The court documents don't show individual users' real names. They do show file-sharing network user names, the user's ISP, the user's IP address, and a sampling of copyright songs the user allegedly made available for download. To date, many ISPs have been contacted, including Pac Bell Internet, SBC, Charter Communications, Comcast, Adelphia, RCN, and Time Warner.

Following is a list of the first user names from our review of the subpoenas.

If you put your music out there like that, you deserve to get sued.

they can't do shit to you for downloading, this is for hosting music for download.

If they sued everyone who downloaded the President would probably call the Marines on the music industry, because they would tie up the US courts for years, and trials for real crimes would be tied up.

[Jotun]

http://www.k_lite.tk_Kazaa_Lite@Kazaa is a generic name, im pretty sure

[Cpt. Obvious]

isnt this an invasion of privacy

[1080jibber]

RIAA can die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i hope a terrorist blows up there building, that will be about the only good thing they could do

[Cpt. Obvious]

couldnt everyone download under the same name they couldnt catch the real culprit.

[Akuma]

Death to RIAA!

I don't use kazaa but still!!

[negative]

wait-so i i take my downloaded music, and put it into a new folder on the C drive, and it wasnt available for download, then they could do anything to me?

[negative]

btw-if everyone does that then no music will be shared

[Innoxx]

Heh, I'm safe.

[ED]

They are suing IP addresses. So no using the same name wont do shit.
