WASHINGTON (AP) -- The embattled music industry disclosed aggressive plans Wednesday for an unprecedented escalation in its fight against Internet piracy, threatening to sue hundreds of individual computer users who illegally share music files online.

The Recording Industry Association of America, citing substantial sales declines, said it will begin Thursday to search Internet file-sharing networks to identify users who offer "substantial" collections of mp3 music files for downloading. It expects to file at least several hundred lawsuits seeking financial damages within eight to 10 weeks.

riiiight.... its just a scare tactic.. and it will fail miserably lol

They're gonna sue HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE!!! HUNDREDS!!! That's a lot

Basically just the people with servers that have tons and tons and tons of music...and I doubt they'll get anywhere anyways.
