AUSTRALIAN record companies will not follow US leads and sue music file sharers.
The Recording Industry Association of America took court action against 261 Internet music file sharers yesterday.
It also announced an amnesty program for file sharers to confess to sharing music illegally.
Late yesterday, the Australian Recording Industry Association said it would not follow suit.
That decision comes amid research figures that show 3.4 million Australians illegally downloaded music over a recent six-month period. Last year, music sales fell by 8.9 per cent, from $629 million to $573 million.
