WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A recording industry trade group said Thursday that it has filed another wave of lawsuits against 754 people it suspects of distributing songs over the Internet without permission.

The Recording Industry Association of America has now sued more than 7,000 people for distributing its songs over “peer to peer” networks like eDonkey and Kazaa, in an effort to discourage the online song copying that it believes has cut into CD sales.

The RIAA typically settles copyright infringement suits for around $5,000 each.
