Illegal peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharers are facing more than 8,000 copyright infringement lawsuits in 17 countries, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).
The campaign involves illegal file-sharers in Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Singapore and Switzerland.
The lawsuits, launched Monday, are part of an international campaign against illegal downloading of music. The legal action brings the total number of lawsuits outside the United States to more than 13,000.
The IFPI said lawsuits, both criminal and civil, were filed for the first time in Brazil, Mexico and Poland.
