RIAA Seeks Injunction Against Convicted File-Swapper

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on September 4, 2009 - 7:46am.
Boston - The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is seeking an injunction against Joel Tenenbaum, who was recently convicted of copyright infringement on a file-sharing network and ordered to pay $675,000 in damages, that would prohibit him from committing further infringements, Ars Technica reports. They argue that Tenenbaum continued to use file-sharing networks even after being sued in federal court, and continues to promote copyright infringement because The Pirate Bay recently featured a 30-song sampler called "DJ Joel: The $675,000 Mixtape." The RIAA is similarly seeking an injunction against convicted file-swapper Jammie Thomas-Rasset, who was ordered to pay $1.92 million in damages.
