Further Action Against UK File-Sharers

Via OUT-LAW.com.

The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) has announced 65 new file-sharing lawsuits against large-scale uploaders – more than twice the number sued in each of its previous filings. The trade body has now filed 153 actions since October last year.

BPI chairman Peter Jamieson said, “There will be no let-up in our fight against illegal file-sharing. We will do what it takes to defend our rights under the law."

Seventy-one of the lawsuits to date have been settled, with individuals paying up to £6,500 each, according to the BPI.
