IRMA: Eight of 17 Accused Music Uploaders c

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on August 5, 2005 - 5:10am.
Dublin -- The Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA) announced that eight of the 17 people it has accused of being among Ireland's worst offenders for illegally uploading music have agreed to settle out of court. The IRMA said the eight people agreed to pay damages of up between $2,470 and $7,400, and to never again swap music illegally over the Internet. The IRMA's action against the file-swappers began in April as part of a global campaign led by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), which filed more than 960 cases against file-sharers in Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Iceland, Finland, Ireland, Japan and the U.K. IRMA Director Dick Doyle said that his organization had additional information on other alleged file-swappers and that it may target more individuals in the coming months.
