The lawsuits continue, but seem to have little impact on P2P file sharing.
Summary
As a result of the RIAA v. Verizon decision the recording industry is seeking to obtain the identity of alleged copyright infringers using P2P networks via “John Doe” lawsuits. In one such suit, filed against 203 alleged file-traders collectively, a Pennsylvania federal district court ruled that the recording industry had to file 203 separate lawsuits to obtain the file-sharers’ identities.
