"Criticism of the RIAA's tactic of targeting individuals intensified last month when a jury found that a Minnesota mother should pay the RIAA $1.92 million for downloading 24 songs.
As part of the new strategy, the RIAA is asking Internet service providers to join a voluntary anti-piracy initiative that would include ISPs passing along RIAA copyright infringement notices to subscribers. Those people who ignore repeated notices would face the possibility of having their service reduced and possibly suspended before a lawsuit is considered.
In return for ISP cooperation, the RIAA would no longer file lawsuits to force the service providers to turn over identifying information of suspected illegal file sharers."
