Though it was thought the recent legal victory by Verizon would slow down RIAA lawsuits, apparently that isn't the case. The RIAA today announced they'll be filing 532 new music sharing lawsuits - the largest effort to date. "People should not be confused," says Mitch Glazier, the RIAA's senior vice president for government relations. "Some people think the Verizon case means that you can go ahead and get back on a service and trade files. We're not going to just sit and do no enforcement while the courts are figuring out the Verizon case." Unlike previous suits targeting specific users, the 532 new suits are "John Doe" suits, where IP addresses are cited and the RIAA hopes personal information will be subpoena'd later.
