Washington -- The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has expanded its copyright infringement litigation against collegiate file-swappers using the ultra-fast Internet2 network, last week filing a second wave of lawsuits against 91 people at 33 universities. The new lawsuits follow the RIAA's initial round of lawsuits against Internet2 users filed last month. "As long as students continue to corrupt this specialized academic network for the flagrant theft of music, we will continue to make it clear that there are consequences for these unlawful actions," said RIAA president Cary Sherman. In addition, the RIAA said it sued another 649 "John Doe" individuals for copyright infringement on public Internet file-sharing networks like Kazaa, LimeWire and Grokster.
