Things are getting serious.


First, "Tech Live" was the first to publish the RIAA Hit List, the list of peer-to-peer application users being targeted by RIAA subpoenas.


Now we bring you the names of those facing actual lawsuits.


One note: The media, including "Tech Live," has been quick to name the Recording Industry Association of America as the source of the lawsuits. There's no doubt that the RIAA is behind the suits, but the plaintiffs named in these cases are the individual record companies, not the RIAA.


Their complaint: copyright infringement. Their target: people sharing protected music -- music said to be the property of the record companies.


"Tech Live" used the same means to obtain these names as we used to obtain the subpoenas for the original RIAA Hit List. All court files have been entered into the public record and are available through the US District Court's PACER online database.


As of Sept. 11, 261 cases have been filed in just nine of the more than 90 U.S. district courts scattered around the country. So far, all 261 suits have been filed in California, Colorado, Arizona, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas. Not all files are yet available online through the PACER system.


Following is a list of those being sued by various record companies, and the district court in which the suit was filed. You'll find in parentheses the cities where those courts are located.


Check back often for regular updates, as more suits are likely to be filed.

My name is not on that list....whew !

Actually i think that even if all of these people are real, there's no chance for RIAA to actually win in cases against them. Case against 12-year old girl and another one against grandfather are just hilarious attempts of RIAA to look scary.

[astralplanet]

Go to the Electronic Frontier Foundation to sign their petiton against the RIAA. The EFF will bring the petiton to the Congress. when they get 10,000 signatures. So far they have 1654 signatures. Go to http://www.eff.org/share/petition/ to sign it now!

[Wolfie]

My state would be one of last ones probably since its always comes close to last in other issues anyway, lol.

[Kooperman]

Yep, time for the midwest and south to take their lumps.......

[Kooperman]

By the way, 2 things really struck me on this list....one is that Michael Jackson got nailed, and the other is the large number of females sued. Perhaps there will be several more early teens in that group too.
