After successfully shutting down WinMX and eDonkey, RIAA is now targeting users. The organization is suing 757 American students, including one from Princeton, because they have been distributing music through file sharing networks.

Sixty-four students from 39 colleges were accused of distributing pirated files through the i2 hubs, while the others are being charged for the use of LimeWire or eDonkey networks.

In the majority of cases, the students and the RIAA reached agreements for sums ranging from $3000 to $5000.

Anyway, the RIAA is preparing some more legal actions, since the radio operators XM and Sirius will launch next month new models of players which will allow not only the receiving of the radio station signal, but also the storing of songs. In RIAA's opinion, this would encourage piracy and infringe copyrights.

RIAA considers that, by recording songs, users won't have any reason to use music download services, and, for that reason, they would like XM and Sirius to change their players so that music couldn't be recorded anymore.

XM has an agreement with Napster, that allows users to buy music from this service.
